Hi,

I haven't seen this brought up yet, but if it has been, please excuse me.

As a source of generating revenue, what about placing a small, text ad to
the bottom of all the mailing list posts? Something like this:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

We listened to you and brought you
the features you asked for
http://www.dreampage.comm/

As I understand it, targeted mailing lists bring in good ad revenue because
they have such a high, focused readership:
http://www.webweek.com/plwebcgi/idoc.pl2418+unix+_free_user_+www.webweek.com
..80+Publications+Publications+Web_Week+Web_Week++mailing26lists

I know it's a long URL but the article is worth reading.

This could or could not tie into our banner advertisers. We may want to
offer this service in addition to the banner ad placed at the HWG website.
Or we may want to sell the mailing list space on it's own.

In my opinion, if we limit the number of e-mail ads to just one per list, it
wouldn't be so obtrusive.

Thoughts?

Regards,
