Re: ADMIN: More on upcoming list changes--READ ME

I think the original proposal was for $5-$10 per YEAR, not per month. I
am not sure where the monthly thing started.

Instead of regarding at this as paying for a service, maybe we should
regard it as a community coming together to support a resource--or like
a team paying
in $5 each to enter a tournament.

Maybe we should look at other lists we belong to or are aware of and try
to find out how those lists are supported? I know that the Dog Agility
list that I
belong to has a group of list administrators who take care of
malfunctions and keep people on track--and while that list is probably
not as large as
TECHWR-L, I believe it has a couple thousand subscribers.

I see nothing wrong with Eric and Deborah soliciting advertising for
their web page, AND/OR they can ask for volunteers to help maintain it.
The Dogpatch (one of the largest canine sites on the web) does both.

Just some thoughts,
