I know this is off topic - but I wanted to point out that at least for me, I subscribe to this list to get help when I can't figure out how to do something with CF. Why I do things with CF is that it was the easiest way for me to give back to the community - not this community, here I really don't often have much to offer, not an expert programmer. The community I serve is the hiking community, and I am very driven to get as many people into the hills as a means of preservation as possible.
I just want to point out that some things are done for the love of it, and some not. Just as this list serves me, I serve another, and so on, and so on. I would hate to see the list become a community I can't afford, or worse still choose not to afford - I really like it very much, and the people who over the years have been so helpful to me. Thank you all :-) John Interested in Hiking in Washington State?

Just because someone is not a prolific poster doesn't mean they don't belong. Did you ever stop to think that many people on this list donate in different ways to this cause? Just because we aren't singing the praises of a fee-based list and whiping drool off our faces with addled glee when every piece of OT tripe comes our way doesn't mean we don't care.
