I changed the thread on this because I am also following the

MC-->PostGreSQL closely in its own right...

OK, so agreed, we can use Metacard to provide content over the web.
I am doing it already in a very small way... but let's we discuss this in a larger context (we got 1.7 million visitors on just three of our domains in 2002... those are visitors, not hits)

If one broaches the subject of putting in time to develop content for MC based delivery, saying

"I can get 20 times the content ready for delivery in the same time it would take to get 1 unit of content out via HTML." (I just spend a month of my time with another team member getting one book on line as HTML... amazing amount of human resources required to do such a simple thing.)

The answer is typically "Well, that's nice, but you are not going to reach as many people... how many are going to download your plug in? You still have to get them to go via a browser and download your stuff... why not just put it up in html in the first place."

So, what kinds of strategies can anyone suggest to take this beyond the "consensus reality" barrier?
