I have been reading LWN for 4yrs and have found your content to be of excellent quality.

I would say that paying for great articles & topics would be a good thing.

Just like any good magazine or publication it has to be funded by someone.

So a charged rate based on the reader's domain might be a fair way of keeping LWN going...

How did the likes of the AOL's etc, make themselves profitable before they became massive. They had to charge their customers.

We can't have something of quality for nothing, neither can the corps.

So start charging & try and get some sponsorship.

Good luck in your efforts. :-)
