Re: Bye, bye...
Sorry to see some of you go - but I do think you should follow your heart - if you feel paying for posting at this place is wrong.
It was stated from day one, by Bill and Kerry that the plan was to go paid subscription. I saw it. This was not hidden - though forums are difficult to navigate and I know many did not see that in the humongous amounts of posts here.
There are also other options besides paying or asking for/accepting a gift subscription. There is barter for help with research and the like. PM me if you want to stay and discuss options other than money. Kerry and Bill will not turn away anyone who really wants to stay in posting mode. I know some are leaving based on the principal of the matter - and that's the only part I cannot help with, though I did advocate for a proper NPR style fund-raiser not just depending on a passive donate button.
Have a good journey ... prepare for the worst ... hope for the best. Or whatever moves you ...
