So, $5 per month is more than you can afford? Or, another way to look at it is: which can you afford to lose more, $5 per month or the help of those on the list in your work?
If this is just an issue of principle, why do you insist that you'll only participate in a free list? Do you not expect to get paid for your work?

I agree. I like the list and I benefit from it and try to contribute as much as possible. However, if there was a fee involved, I would not stick around. I don't mind advertising at all though. I can see the complaints about the links in the archives and I understand the reasoning for pulling the image-based ads in the emails. I definitely appreciate all that Mike does and hope he's able to recoup some money for it but I'm not in a position to be able to fund that. I like the idea of the free community and as long as it stays that way, I'll be here.

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. Between the two of them, they cover everything there is to know about RFCs and Unicode!
