Okay, this reprises a figure I tossed out a couple of days ago, with the idea that lurking would be free, but posting and voting (in a new non-profit set up for the purpose) would require annual dues of $20.

Does anyone have a suggestion of how to test the feasiblity of such a fee? That is, I know Deb could post it as a techwr-l poll, but that doesn't really produce statistically valid results, especially where people's pocketbooks are concerned. What I really want to know is how many different individuals typically post in a given year and what percentage of them would actually cough up $20 for the privilege of remaining in the techwr-l community.

If you have a notion of a way to arrive at reasonably reliable numbers, or if you want to take on the responsibility for conducting a valid survey, please speak up.

Please do NOT just respond with "Yes, I'd pay $20." Wait for the resulting survey.

Dick
