There's a positively ridiculous amount of traffic passing through my systems by which a lot of people are already making money. One more is of no consequence whatever. All the already-extant pay-per-hour services do so, after all. the newsadmins would lose out every time if a vote is taken--however, they DO have the power to drop r.h.f... This past Monday, I sent mail to what was once the `backbone,' asking for opinion of the whole affair, for related reasons of my own. I got a positively stunning amount of raw, unadorned apathy - high quality, grade A, first order apathy. Comments such as, "I don't give a $#!+ what Brad does, as long as he keeps up the good work" and "Connect to anyone" were indicative of the sentiment. --Karl
