Mostly we have trouble getting known - people who would like to read what we have written have probably not heard of us, and even if they look they won't easily find us. Unless we are the Rolling Stones, or Archer the disgraced lord. If they are not making us money now, either we lose nothing, or we get asked to write something else, for money, or we get known more widely. If we are the Rolling Stones or that Tory ex-politician then we can take care of ourselves. The question of at what size is someone going to lose a substantial amount without being substantial enough themselves to obtain a remedy is worth asking, but I think it may not exist - the two factors won't overlap much. -- A -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
