Based on the continuing soap opera LEM has presented concerning its
financial woes over the years, you're probably right. Dan Knight
has created a wonderful worldwide online community for Mac people,
but he has not managed to find a way to make it self-supporting or
profitable on a sustained basis. Unfortunately, this latest effort
is confusing and has been badly presented, if at all, to folks like
you and me, without whom there would/will be no LEM. I suspect the
lack of information from Dan is a mute acknowledgement that this
latest move is a loser. Since LEM is Dan's baby, it's up to him to
provide leadership and convince all us LEMmings to follow him. As
things are beginning to look, we may be seeing the death throes of
LEM as we have known it.
... and I will reiterate what I mentioned a little while back, if $$$
donations from us to him (or whom/whatever) is what it takes to keep
this going. I'm in.
it works fine with other lists I rely on. It's dealt with
occasionally and without pressure and when the rare public mention of
it comes around (usually after a server has had issues and needed
work and folks are discussing the technology) always... ALWAYS, the
member folks chime in enthusiastically with back-slaps to the quiet
folks that keep-er-running and self-reminders that "...if the admin
needs something, i'm sending in a buck or bunches". Some folks can
barely afford $5, others more, nobody brags about how much or little,
but in order to keep it right, it happens.
I hope that who might (or might not) be cowed for the moment will
shake it off and step back up to the plate and we can work it out.
It's worth it for the very reasons that folks here are saying.
