Sounds like a hippie dream... I liked the one about the wooden ships
one too, but that one's not going to happen either. But keep on
keepin' on, man! Just don't be discouraged if data vendors ignore
you.
I see nothing wrong with charging what the market will bear, and
would resent anyone telling me that such and such a data set is
"worth" only so much when I know it's a windfall and worth plenty
more if you know how to market it.
I'm also in favor of sites like yours, because it keeps the market
interesting and gives the little guys an advantage over the big
guys. You're widening the ecological niche allowing many more
entrepreneurs to flourish.
