Re: MIDRANGE -L e-zine

[Carl Nelson <cnelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I agree.

But would only do it for two reasons:

        1) To expand the number of people who get the information.  The email
should go to more people than on the list and have a click through that
would encourage subscribers to Midrange-L

        2) To sell advertising sponsorships and the revenue would help 
Midrange-L.

I would suggest that a deal be set up with one of the AS/400 technical
publications.  They would provide the technical content to help edit the
e-zine.  They would cross promotional opportunities for a joint relationship.

The method to create the content would be to put out technical questions to
the Midrange-L list  that would be responded to privately, gathered up and
put together and published in the e-zine.
