Subject: Charging per note From: curtmonash@monash.com (Curt A. Monash) Date: Tue, 28 May 1996 01:50:36 -0400

It is proposed that readers be charged per note read.

It is also suggested in other venues that advertisers PAY readers per note
read.   One virtue of this approach, BTW, is that advertisers can
self-select -- if somebody is willing to pay me $20 to look at one of their
messages, I'm likely to do it irrespective of how much I value my time,
simply because THEY'VE made the judgment I'm very likely to be interested.

OK -- into which bucket do Rosalind Resnick's notes fall?  Should we pay
her, or should we CHARGE her to get what is, among other things,
advertisement for her consulting services?


Also:  If I don't like a note I read, can I get a refund?
