Well I for one expect that Mark has done exactly that, but I would not expect him to reveal the details. It's called commercial confidentiality. Chris

I don't care of the answers. Those represent a thought process that I go through when evaluating a venture. I suggest Mark personally do the same. Rather than just criticizing, why not state your

You're seriously purporting to ask Mark how much income he wants, and how much of it he wants to come from groups.io? God I love this thread... -- J Messages are the sole opinion of the author,

I think more important is for assessing pricing is: How much, Mark, do you feel you need to make from all your endeavors to meet your desires? Within that, how much must come from Groups.io Then, how

Ha. Not so sure about that. Heard about the giant Microsoft hack? Even Microsoft can't say whether the Russian hackers changed their code or their updates or their cloud storage or anything else. We

Hi Shal, Internet operations are obviously infinitely more complex than most of us know, or want to know; and yet it behooves us group owners and moderators to widen our perception and perspective to

To put it another way, large - scale over - quoting ratchets up (in this case) Groups.io's costs, or have misunderstood? Chris

Looking at recent posts, and picking out some points made It is a very basic IT/DataProcessing concept that it's all based on bits - storing, changing, copying them - and it's those that drive the

Hi WRB, The total size of data communicated may not be that much different. But the total burden is likely less for Digest because there would be up to 12 messages represented in a single digest. So

Hi Shal, Thanks for the response. You said: "What matters is how many of your members are on Individual messages: one posted message becomes a burden of up to 875 outbound messages, or 777 in the

Bruce, The "normalize html emails" box is unchecked. If it were checked then the font color would be removed, which it is not as you can see. I do not include any constructs (eg iframes, javascript)
