Default OLC - Action Needed

wrote:
Richard,

Your email suggest that the OLC is free.


It does, and it is.

It definitely is not!


You are surely smoking something good!

OLC is like a free newspaper. You don't pay a thing to be its consumer.
The advertisers who pay to make it possible to so as a voluntary
investment, for which they hope to get a return.


I think the point is that the OLC is a money-making venture, and thus
the OLC people are not volunteers doing this for free. Also, regarding
the free newspaper that collects advertising revenue -- if it could be
improved in certain respects, you would not point this out to the
editors due to the fact that it was free to you?


I did something similar to OLC for years and the reason I quit was
because of whining crybabies who complained too much about what they
weren't paying a dime for. I love the OLC and I don't want to see the
same thing happen to them.


I think we all like the OLC. It is just that some of us are concerned
that it will not fulfill its potential unless changes are made.
