Excellent idea Greg. Thanks.
And yes, Art, checks would be great. You are not going to make a 
fortune out of this as it is, so you need to get every penny.

Hi Art,

I completely support your advertising requirements, and Thank You for
finding a way to keep your forum to continue. One thing I would like to
suggest, please accept payment by check as PayPal will take their fees 
from

you and I really do not like that!!

Best Regards,
Greg

starts4/7/2014

Good Evening;

If you never advertise on the list you can disregard this email!  If 
you do

advertise please read below:

Beginning Monday, April 7, 2014 I will be implementing a paid 
advertising
program for the Meteorite Mailing List.  I've been working on a program 
like
this for quite a while now but have been struggling with the best way 
to do

it.  I think I've come up with an approach that's both simple and
affordable.  My goal isn't to make a lot of money,  but rather to cover 
the
costs associated with Meteorite Mailing List and the related websites.  
I'd
also like to cut down on the total number of Ads that appear on the 
list on
any given day,  which I think is better in the long run for both 
advertisers
and subscribers  (i.e. improve the signal to noise ratio).  Hopefully 
this

new program will improve everyone's list experience.

Here's how it will work
--
Ads can be purchased one at a time or in bulk, and payment can be made
through PayPal.  The 1 Ad per week limit and the current policy 
regarding no

image attachments will remain (see policies below).  I am considering
allowing images under a certain and also some type of Ad credit for 
relevant
posts but I need to work on those ideas a bit more.   Also, as the 
majority

of members aren't dealers, but may want to sell something every now and
then, everyone will be provided with 2 Ad credits (free ads) to be used
during the year.

Meteorite List Ad Rates

- One-off Advertising cost
   * Per Ad price - $4 via PayPal

- Bulk Advertising options (Pre-paid Ads)
   * 12 ads
  $35 - Single payment via PayPal ($2.92 per ad)
   * 52 ads
  $125 - Single payment via PayPal ($2.40 per ad)

Payment won't be required before a One-off Ad is placed, but should be 
made
within 1 day.  Payment for the Bulk Ad options is expected prior to 
placing
the first Ad.   I'll be adding a page to the Meteorite Central website 
with

payment links each option listed above.

Mailing List ad-related policies

- 1 Ad per week limit
- Plain text emails only
- No image attachments
- 60k email size limit
- 2 Ad credits per member (to be used during the year)
- Failure to pay for Ads placed on the list will result in member
removal.

Please feel free to send me an off-list email if you have any comments,
suggestions, or questions.


Best Regards and Happy Hunting/Collecting!
