Re: SPAM-LOW: Re: SPAM-LOW: Re: wtf are those advertizing links in the text?
How much have you donated to be on this list over the entire time you have been on it? I randomly get on this list to help people with quick questions more than anything else. I rarely post questions to it. Clearly it is not 100% centralized or I would not maintain a presense in multiple other places. My point on centralization is that if it were to all the sudden cost money to be here, is it all the sudden would drive people away.

The point is that you *do* find this list a better source of information and assistance than you do other resources...you stated that it was more centralized...meaning you can get what you need easier and quicker...if it weren't of benefit to you, you wouldn't use it.

Did you not see the word "enough" Perhaps you are reading a little too far into the words I pick. Or perhaps you can not understand that I feel I would need to gain a certain amount out of something that normally can be found free to then justify paying for it. Anything offered on this list can be found elsewhere, maybe not in one centralized spot but still elsewhere. To go and charge for use of the list would very likely de-centralize information here since some would rather not pay. At that point what exactly would you be paying for? I may not contribute a lot to this list but I do know I contribute more than I ask of it. So really it would come down to if I paid to be here, I would be paying to answer a few questions here and there. So everyone who thinks it would be fine to pay admission for this list, how much have you donated over the years of using it?

Sure, Charlie...no problem. I've said about all I have to say anyway. I don't subscribe to CF-Community...I have a hard enough time getting through all the email I get now. I'm just concerned about Mike...I suspect, based on his comments to the list now and in the past, that he doesn't like bringing up stuff like this and discussing. I just thought I'd carry his banner for awhile. I've received great benefit from the list and would like to see Mike (and others, if you've got a donate button let me know!) benefit, too. I would have that he's suffering financially to help me prosper... Some good ideas have been discussed...so I'll shut up now. Just don't forget, everyone, to *voluntarily* donate!

Rick...couple of points 1) can we move this to cf-community? 2) did Mike even say he is considering charging for the list? You seem to be fighting for something that the list owner isn't even considering implementing. 3) can we move this to cf-community?
