I agree...I'd have the same concern about linking my words to content, but I wouldn't necessarily threaten legal action or pull out if it happened.
I think what we need to be concerned about here is Michael. We all enjoy the benefits of CF help and even some fun, but this all comes at Michael's expense. No one has to be here but Michael. He has to spend more time than anyone, put up all the hardware and tech support for his operation. We owe him more than our gratitude, if he needs support. I'm going to try to donate some each month, even if it's $10, and be consistent. I make a lot more than that selling the products I create with help from Michael and those that participate on his list. I encourage everyone to join me in making a contribution each month. Imagine...if everyone gave just $1, with 2,000 subscribers, that would be $2,000 per month...not bad. Just $5 per month and he's got $10,000 per month...hmmm....maybe I should start a list...naaaahhh, I'm not diplomatic enough...

A community is a strange and fragile thing, not exactly related to numbers. The loss of contributors such as those mentioned may very likely have an undesirable effect on the make-up of our community. I would point out that I wouldn't like my words to link to content that I didn't expressly desire them to as well, fwiw. - Calvin -----Original Message----- From: Rick Faircloth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 20, 2005 7:07 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: wtf are those advertizing links in the text? I assume you're talking about the links the in content...right? And, yes, the list would be reduced in it's effectiveness if Jochem and Paul were to withdraw, but it wouldn't necessarily mean the end of the list... I've been helped by both of them on numerous occasions and would hate to be without their input...but one or two can't hold a couple of thousand captive...

I would be forced to withdraw, and I imagine that lots of other people might be in the same boat for the same reason that Jochem and Paul Hastings mentioned. I've been through this before elsewhere, and I simply wouldn't be able to justify the risk. And it's worth pointing out that the list would be significantly less valuable if it loses the likes of Jochem and Paul.
