I'm saying I can't speak until I read the letter. After all that's gone on
in this thread tonight, this is as honest as I can be with you.
I've also clearly and publically stated that the site is an autocracy, not a
democracy. It's rule by one. It's meant for a purpose and I intend to keep
to that purpose. I had a recent life event that reminded me that we are all
only here for a short time. My time will be spent trying to get someone to
pay attention.
Perhaps my biggest fault is that I care too much about this company and
their products. Maybe some of my foolish sentamentalism causes me to do
silly things from time to time. But as I said to Richie in this thread... I
really thought I was doing folks a favor by taking these alternative
opinions away from LUGNET. To allow LUGNET to be as it is, without my
postings to sour it.
To get back to your original question... if someone has something to say,
they are free (within reason) to post it to LUGNET. People pay to become
members of LUGNET. LUGNET is organized and run as a community with elders
and other members. My site is different. I pay for the domain. I pay for
the web hosting. I put my own time into what gets posted (or doesn't). I'm
not asking for donations or for anyone to pay a cent. If you want to read
what's there.... it's free. Otherwise, no questions asked, thanks for coming.
But an interesting thing has happened over the last few days. About 1/2 the
hits I'm getting are now direct or bookmarked links. (As opposed to links
coming from postings to LUGNET or search engines) People are coming back.
I wonder why?
Regards,
Allan B.
