Good. Then you just have two hurdles to clear, content and revenue.

Good luck with your endeavour.

Excuse the (sic)"Free mail me."

Instead, freepmail me if I can be of assistance. After all, typos are our enemy.

Actually three - content, revenue, and distribution ;0)

��5{��������nd revenue.

On the Northwest Passage we had plenty of content. Around 40 years ago the underground press did a take-off on the AP, UP, UPI, and other newswire services in that if you too were and underground paper you could re-print articles from the Berkeley Barb, etc., free and clear.We'd always give credit and were far more honest than the NY TImes and some of the other main stream media.

Revenue was a little harder to come by. We had a couple of bong puffing hippies go out into the straight commuity and actually sell ads. Of course the regulars owned head shops, gave massages, and a few straight craftsmen, etc, gave us a precarious hold on a print shop, which by the way, was a Christian shop in Lynden, WA. He only printed if the cash was there, and somehow it always was.

So, we had something like a never ending well of pretty well written leftist crap to print. But a conservative paper doesn't want to print leftist crap. However, if something comes along on the internet maybe we can request permission to print a particular writer on a one time basis. If we ask well known conservative writers for permission to print their stuff the old saying is we must have more guts than a slaughterhouse: Ask them! Assume nothing! If they say no, then no it is. If they say yes, print it and send copies to them.

I think Chad and the rest of you are on to something. I like that.
