Mike, perhaps you should run some polls for your subscribers to ask what the preferred method of handling this is, instead of pulling the ad links because of the major objections of one subscriber...this list can easily survive without a few players...

I hate that Michael took the link ads off because of some whining. Oh this is mine oh I wrote it, I should have the final say wha wha Then write it on your own site and post links to it. That's not hard is it? I've come a looong way with not only CF but web dev in general since I joined this list and am forever grateful to those that have helped but even more so, I am grateful to Michael for all his hard work in giving me easy access to all your brains and still taking the time to post solutions to others' problems on the list. There is a donate link at the bottom of HoF. I used it because I almost feel guilty for everything I've gotten from this list without paying anything. Maybe I'm just getting soft in my old age. I definitely think that a paid subscription would run off a lot of people and keep the newcomers down. Personally, I think what I get (what we all get) here is worth some change per year and Ill just keep using the donate link for it. Hopefully this thread will make others realize ...how much work has gone into HoF ...how much BETTER it is than any other CF resource out there ...that it can't be free to keep it up and help compensate by donating as well I still think it's funny how a simple entry in a host file could have solved this whole thing. -----Original Message----- From: Rick Faircloth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 20, 2005 1:37 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: wtf are those advertizing links in the text? But...again...it's inappropriate to try to limit Mike on what he can make...that's absolutely none of our business...you should only ask if it's worth $20 a year for what you get from participating in the list. If Mike can make $40,000 plus by helping 2,000 people all year long...more power to him! I would be happy for him if he made $1,000,000 per year at $20 a year from us!

I think that's a reasonable compromise, although $10 a month seems pretty high to me just to not have ads. > > Mary Jo Sminkey > www.cfwebstore.com tony ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
