Hi Pete,

Nice idea in concept, but didn't work in practice.

When Jack implemented such an idea on theporch.com (the 
original BA list ca: 1992 or such) the immediate outcry was 
deafening. Jack was accused of everything from grand larceny to 
extortion.  There was a mass exodus to the tempe list, and .... here.

Hams are cheap, and a subscription QTH list would likely shrink the 
subscription list to a small fraction of the critical mass required to 
sustain any mailing list.

Just an historical perspective...

John
