Instead of forcing people to pay to subscribe to the list, an alternative could be an advertising free list for a fee - $20 to $50 a year lets say, and a free, but supported by ads lists. That way if you're willing to suffer the ad links in the contents of the messages, you don't have to pay. But you can get rid of the ads by paying a small fee up front. Then after you log into the HOF site, the ad links in the message content would dissappear. This way all views are accommodated. larry -- Larry C.
