Newsgroups and discussion lists. Right. Look, John.
You're tilting at straw men here, rewriting everything I
say so as to try and make me look like a fool.
Since you can't respond to what I write, you'll do us
all a favor by not responding at all.
If you have compelling content you feel you can charge
for, go right ahead. I won't stop you from making
millions of dollars. But I don't feel compelled to
pay you, myself.
