Parent article: Where has the pioneer spirit of LWN gone?

I'm not the smartest person in the world but I run my own business
and I did some quick figuring it may not be 100 percent accurate
but I know that I'm somewhere close to the ballpark here..

If each person makes about $600/Week (gross) = 3,000/week = 12,000 Month
(If you take out taxes then you can figure that each person takes
home around 480/week) ( 600/week equates out to $31,200 / year)

5 people and families health insurance = 250/ea = 1,250 Month
(This is assuming that the company pays for it)

SSI Taxes paid buy the company 46/each = 230 /week = 920 / month

So far 12000 + 1250 + 920 = 14170 (pretty damn close to 15k per month)

This also does not take into account Utilities, Heat/AC, Phone, Internet Access, and bandwidth for the servers that LWN is run on, or if LWN is hosted then hosting costs...

Just some thoughts...

Editors: I've not been an avid reader of your site thus far but I'll
probably be a much more frequent viewer.... Thanks for giving so
much to the community... Many here do appreciate what it takes to
do a quality job professionally full-time...
