Well, not exactly, but it was reported in searchenginewatch.com and the Web 
Position Gold newsletter.

(Mental blank --- sorry) LookSmart? is it, went to pay-per-list period and 
I just thought -- oh well, there's enough others, but that tide has turned 
quickly. However, I did notice my sites are /not/ listed in LookSmart -- 
course I didn't pay, but are all the other directories/engines going to 
boot non-paid listings eventually?

In all fairness -- folks on this list have been predicting this for quite 
some time. So, while in theory, I can kind of understand the whole 
*quality* thing that the engines/directories want. But, what about Daniel 
-- small business, just getting going and now Yahoo wants $199 and GoTo 
wants $199 and LookSmart wants money and -- let's see does Alta Vista want 
money, or is it part of one that does?? -- so, now, on top of the money 
he's spending to just be on the web, that's a few hundred more on top of 
what he's already paid.

I know, you guys said it was coming but I'm still confused! I can tell the 
next one how much it will cost and just factor in the cost along with 
hosting, domain name registration, etc., but Daniel is /not/ going to like 
this.
