Yeah, thanks for that .. CedarDave pointed me to it late last night .. I'd already turned this box off and gone to bed .. found/read it this morning.

It's my impression that some of the finest techie minds in the world can be found on the membership rolls of FR.

I really wish John could/would avail himself of some of them, even given the pitfalls inherent with 'committees'.

There IS a workable solution out there somewhere !

Speaking of membership rolls, and assuming a current membership of, say, 100,000:

$1/month for posting privileges, plus whatever the CC companies charge for a transaction fee .. so say total user cost of $2 per month, yields $1,200,000 per year for FR to become THE fastest site on earth.

And even if only half the membership agreed to that pittance, $600,000/yr is still about double the site's current income, and should keep us cutting edge and vey zippy.

Lurking would, as always, remain free of charge (other than the guilt cost incurred via freeloading   ;-)
