Since the beginning, the Matronics List and Forum experience has been free
from advertising.=C2- I have been approached by fair number of vendors wa
nting to tap into the large volume of activity across the various lists hos
ted here, but have always flatly refused.=C2- Everywhere you go on the In
ternet these days, a user is pummeled with flashing banners and videos and
ads for crap that they don't want.=C2- Yahoo, Google and that ilk are not
"free".=C2- The user must constantly endure their barrage of commerciali
sm thrust into their face at an ever increasing rate.=C2- Enough is enoug
h, and the Lists at Matronics choose not to succumb to that.
That being said, running a service of this size is not "free".=C2- It cos
ts a lot of money to maintain the hardware, pay for the electricity, Commer
cial-grade Internet Connection, air conditioning, maintenance contracts, et
c. etc. etc.=C2- I choose to hold a PBS-like fund raiser each year during
the month of November where I simply send out a short email every other da
y asking the members to make a small contribution to support the operation.
=C2- That being said, that contribution is completely voluntary and non-c
ompulsory.=C2- Many members choose not to contribute and that's fine.
However, a very modest percentage of the members do choose to make a contri
bution and it is that financial support that keeps the Lists running.=C2-
And that's it.=C2- To my way of thinking, it is a much more pleasant way
of maintaining the Lists and Forums.=C2- The other 11 months of the year
, you don't see a single advertisement or request for support.=C2- That's
refreshing and that is a List and Forum that I want to belong to.=C2- I
think other people feel the same way.
Won't you please take a minute to make your Contribution today and support
these Lists?
