doesn't that defeat the purpose and spirit of alt.comp.freeware ?
In what way? It costs money. To avoid a similar problem in the future
it is best that a group of people from this group who collectively own
the domain and the site.
Or does it add more to the control freakery of a select few who think they can
dictate ?
I don't think that you comprehended what you've read so far...
why not let SoS and Genna figure something out ?
You provide your own answer right after asking this:
the damage has been done, they will probably never be anything ever agreed
upon.
Conflicting your own words within a few sentences is not a good sign.
You are aware of what you are typing?
heck, while were at it, lets start paying these freeware authors for their time and
money they have put in to give us freeware. thx, you've finally proven Vic
and Andy right.
Evidently not.
the damage has been done, they will probably never be anything ever agreed
upon.
So you have said. Mind if we give it a try?
and why not? you expect people to now pay for a website they can't control.
doesn't even that go against the acf faq?
What in the heck are you talking about? What do you suggest? Piracy on
the info-highway? Send a boarding party to take control?
You really need to think about what you post.
Support for which site ? Genna's or Susans?
Go back and read again what you replied to. Your reading comprehension
also needs some attention.
no one is against Susan, just the idea of moving. if she chooses to move
and start a new site, then she simply can't call it pricelessware as that's that.
I proposed the move to end this debate. That is, grab a site and get
it going for the sake of all involved. There are other threads in
which possible domains are being suggested. The move seems inevitable
to me at this point. If the proposal is unacceptable to others then
that's the way it goes.
That's that? You getting huffy on me? <G>
More conflict. You say it cannot be called,"pricelessware as that's
that," yet you are for some reason griping because an alternative
domain is being discussed? So, which is it? Are you voting for
everything again?
not only would it amount to confusion,
From a good source...
but it would more or less prove that anything voted on
in this group is not on solid ground or set in stone; anything new on the PL
list would be meaningless as well as the FAQ.
To you? Probably. In this particular case an individual owns the site
and domain. A newsgroup vote does not overrule private ownership.
That is the point of a group owned site, Einstein.
This is the most intriguing volunteer project I've ever witnessed. I'd
like to see it continue, even if two sites are the result. Everything
that has occurred on the PL site since I checked in has been the
result of reader input.
The Frequently Asked Questions were written as guidelines by
individuals. I don't think it applies here.
how much and how often are "dontations" expected ?
The cost looks to be from $5 per month to $7 per month.
what happens when donations run out ?
I'll cover the portion above donations and disassociate myself from
the site completely. It is important that donations in some amount are
rendered, so that it is collectively owned though. I'd much rather be
one of many who chipped in, so that I could participate as one of
many.
do we now have to pay to read / post messages on acf
just to pay for a website ?
Yes, your bill is in the mail.
C'mon, wake up. Your logic is on a downward spiral.
this soap opera is over, man. give it a rest.
If you view the above true, why did you post this jumble of
gobbledly-gook? Some of us are trying to have a constructive
conversation... if you don't mind.
