Eric, there will be a HUGE shakeout of lists in this transition. That is a VERY GOOD THING (tm). If a list isn't worth $1 to each reader, it isn't worth ANYONE supporting it. I expect lots of marginal lists to hit the fan. I am on close to 100 lists. Most of them generate NO TRAFFIC for months. Are they worth $1? No. Some generate tons of traffic that wastes my time. Ask me for $1 as well and I will probably ditch them (also a good thing). The ones in the middle with modest and valuable traffic are EASILY worth $1 to me. I would have no problem deciding and would probably stay on about 5-6 lists. That would be an extremely good thing. So you see, I am very happy with what is happening. It is LONG overdue. Do you agree? Dave Gomberg Internet: [log in to unmask]
