I do.
I think FR should develop a strategic plan to grow and become more reliable. Splitting the time-sensitive core away from the non-time sensitive discussion groups could be part of that strategy.
Once we have a strategy that we agree upon, we need to have a capital campaign separate from the quarterly fund raising. It may be $1 mm or more to properly set up the equipment for FR to run another 10 years. I think we could all raise this sort of money.
Also, I am not against ad revenue, as long as it comports with the values of the membership.
I have noticed that FR pages that come up in Google searches are not available on the server when you click on them. Wonder if he lost them.
