Nick:

Frankly, it makes perfect sense.

Suggested reading:  "Information Rules" by Carl Shapiro and Hal Varian.  As 
the saying goes "information is gold" and these guys have the plans how to 
mine it.

Being new to your group, I have been observing for a week or so and have 
already picked up some valuable information.  I am developing a web site 
that I feel would benefit from incorporating an e-zine as a major 
component.  As the business plan is still in the formative stage, the fine 
points are still being refined.   The concept has been applauded by a 
university entrepreneurial program, although support has been 
lacking.  Consaquently, I am searching for an incubator.

A launch date in the first quarter of the new year is targeted, albeit on a 
small scale.  The question is:  What are the prospects for attracting an 
e-publisher on some sort of  creative compensation structure?

Interested parties please respond to my new e-mail program, Eudora 
(courtesy of a group posting). So I can try out the filtering process, 
please enter "Golden Info" in the subject box.
