Er... what???? You were invited in the first place to this
discussion.
Read the logs. We were waiting for you and at some point I
just thought
that it was pointless to have such a session if you were not
there. So
you received your mail, just like everybody who was
concerned.

Well, it is more complex than that.

This outcome is foreseeable and desirable, actually.

Yes. But think that what is wanted here is not to find one
single way to
generate revenue. Rather, it is about generating small
amounts of
revenue wherever we can.
Best,
Charles.
