If you say so. I concluded given the presence of this post that the current funding model isn't working or else why would alternatives be tossed out? It appears to me that revenues can't cover expenses. Now in my business, if that happened I would look to change the way I'm serving the market. Perhaps your experience differs. I'm pretty sure that Jim posted this thread for discussion purposes and to let our membership know what could be in store, if we have to go to some other business means/models.

I'm pretty sure that Jim posted this thread for discussion purposes and to let our membership know what could be in store, if we have to go to some other business means/models. Yes, I'm sure that's why it was posted. But the discussion is made necessary because the fundamentals of this site donor model have changed. Look at this from the perspective of a pure business consultant...if you had no vested interest here I suspect you'd agree that the market can't support operating expenses. The only options are to lower expenses or expand the market...so the question that follows has to be how best to achieve one or both goals.
