Now, don't get me wrong, I like the ads idea best, saves me money, makes money for Michael and for his advertisers... win, win, win...
And I like the idea of subscriptions fine, but second to the advertisements...but I think if Michael went to subscriptions people might take even more liberty with the list than they do now.� When people start paying, they start to feel they have more "rights" to usage. And, I really doubt there would be a big drop in the "participants". Perhaps in the subscribers, but not those who actively participate by�only answering questions...they do that many times to boost an ego, perhaps, and certainly not those, like myself, who ask far more questions than they answer. (Mostly because there are far more qualified people to answer than me...) But,�concerning content�think the list is fine as it is...I like reading about other's thoughts on hot topics, such as the merger, which could have an affect on everyone.� It only takes me�second to delete messages in which I have no interest...even messages that are strictly about coding.

I feel that if it went to a subscription fee (which I think it should), it would raise the level of discussion and it would allow Michael to be a little more aggressive to what is acceptable. -----Original Message----- From: Adrocknaphobia [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 20, 2005 12:49 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: wtf are those advertizing links in the text? Woah. If this list went to a monthly/yearly subscription you can expect a severe drop in subscribers. Many times, especially the last few days, I've contemplated dropping of this list. As many people seem to confuse this list and thier own personal blog. In all honesty, if I cared about your opinions on the merger or whatever, I'd read you blog (Which I have no intrest in). I surely not going to pay for it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
