The advertisers do not come close to paying for the expenses of most upstart
websites that have a narrow focus such as ham radio. You guys forget we are
a very small amount of the population still. I know one site in the
aftermarket car/truck hobby/industry that this was done at and after all the
grumbling people got over the few bucks it cost to be a member they found it
was worth it because the guys used the $ to make the site better. I hope he
does this.

You know the old saying, if you don't like this website, HTML can be written
in any text editor... GO for IT!!

I thought that's what advertisers are for?



Haven't you noticed how most cable TV channels have advertisers, yet
you have to pay for the service, too?
