Call me elitist... (and I don't think I'm 100% disagreeing)

I'm not. That is, I'm not for enabling *everyone* to be a member. There are
certain people I would be happy to see not join, heck, not even participate
here. There are only a handful of them I can name, but we had a recent
example of the sort of disruptiveness that can be caused by such.
More generally, though I think Dave! hit on a great idea.. find the things
that give large benefits to certain members, and get revenue from them,
*without* becoming exclusionary to all who would participate peacefully and
productively.
For example, I'd gladly pay a per posting charge for each auction flog I
posted to market.auction (however this is a tough idea to structure
correctly... do I have to pay for answering a question someone else raised
about some auction someone else posted?)
