Is your unwillingness to pay a subscription based on the fact that you feel like you don't benefit from the list? Or that you give more to the list than you take?
I can understand someone's reluctance to pay if really all they do is give answers to others and don't get answers to questions. But if you ever get answers you really need why wouldn't you be willing to help pay for the work that's done to bring you those answers? And if there are so many other resources that are as good as this one, then why participate in this one? I would have to cut something out... takes too long to go through all the mail! And...for info's sake...what other resources can you point out that I could use that are as rich with information, convenient, and have such good participation? Just trying to understand your perspective....

There are plenty of "free" sources of information out there that this very list offers. There is no way I'd pay to subscribe to a mailing list. Now if I were to find that I was greatly benifiting from it, I would make a donation to whoever maintained it. I have done donations in the past to things that offered me free help that I in turn benifited from in my work. Now if a place put in advertisement links for something I typed then I might think twice about putting postings there. I am on a car forum that does this and rarely post on it these days but my rare postings have nothing to do with their advertisements.
