Just an FYI: The list predates the Rays. It did well before them. And it did at least as well *during* their stewardship (content-wise, I don't know about subscriber numbers of what they would mean if I did know them). That says a lot more than it might sound like. If you don't know what I mean, google "Tragedy of the Commons" and "Explosive Growth of the Internet".

The trick will be to keep the $ behind the scenes. Move $ between TECHWR-L subscribers and TECHWR-L content, and TECHWR-L is dead.

By the way, this might be an interesting resource for the next while:
