I'm going to say this once, because it needs to be said.  Please don't
start a thread.

The notion that the "other" boatanchors list is a money making
proposition is pure unadulteraded bull-youknow what!!   Bull
croppie and bull pitootie!

Who funds tempe.gov?

I don't know, nor can any of us know, the real motivation for
establishing another BA list.  Or why 12 bucks is the end all and
be all of topics of indignation.  Frankly, I don't care.  But you do
the "other" list owner, the operator of its privately operated and
funded server, all of its subscribers, and all of YOUR subscribers a
great disservice by continuing the myth that it is profit making
pasttime for its owners.

Regards .. going silent on the issue  ... and back to pondering gray
and green and brown boxes
