Co-op?
I like the word co-op. It sounds like the word sharing to me.
Cynthia, you could delegate work off your shoulders to the experienced (moderators), the donations/membership fees could be enough to pay the fridge repaireman, rent and the hound dogs as you suggested earlier and even you and the moderators could get paid also. I believe their knowledge is worth paying for, as the students and paying customers for their art hopefully increase by this forum and site and all the related gains. I believe it is worth it for all.
I like the win-win solutions. Forget emotions and egos, look just at value on all sides. Co-op, hmmmm, co operative, co operation, I like that word. The trouble with the world today is the lack of sharing, compassion, respect for each other, a respectful co operation with each other. As artists, don't we already sit on the outside looking in, that's is why we are so engrossed in the creativity of it all and see the different picture from the rest. Greed and associated egos that are attached with it, is what is ruining this planet. Sometimes, the simpliest answer is the best way to go and the simpliest life, the best lived. Just my thoughts, I voted to pay a continual yearly membership fee. I sacrifice to keep my internet connection, and I will sacrifice to pay membership fee. There are a wonderful bunch of humans on this site who are dedicated and cherished, if only that was enough.
