RE: list home decisions
Dear Listers
As I read the Gordon's opinion and also the aversions of
an important part of the list members about the
commercial sites, my updated vote: a non commercial site
(any version what seems like useful) but free if it possible.
The free(dom) of the information is a basic idea of the
Internet, I think a payable membership on a discussion list
is the opposite of that, so probably the problems of it
similar to a commercial version. (In Your language the
word "free" is meaning several types of freedom include
the cost free situation :-)
About the statistics, the Net users do not like too much
the payable services, probably not only because the
amount of the necessary money, but the hated
administration tasks of money things (which is a + task for
the list owner too, and probably a source of several
unnecessary conflicts).
As I read, we have a few free offers from list
members/supporters, the latest from Dave. Anyway
volunteer donation, if it help to make better situation for
the list can be welcomed...
