This. This is what the HPR community has defined as success: more
contributors, not more listeners, not more episodes per contributor.

Granted, more listeners can be a means to that end, but probably not if
those listeners "couldn't care less where they get their episodes from".

I've enjoyed the handful of the Inlaws' episodes I've listened to, but I
think our goals just aren't aligned. If HPR "carried" (as though it were a
network) 10 twice-monthly podcasts, there would be no slots left open for
new contributors. That's the reason the current policy exists, and we
should seek to apply it equitably.

I appreciate Ken's offer about aiding in a smooth transition for listeners
who have come to Linux Inlaws via HPR, and I hope that sentiment makes the
intent clear--this is not a banishment but rather an acknowledgment that
you've outgrown us.
