Your comments

A point I failed to list in two earlier comments follows:


I have delayed moving on to an alternate site, in hope that you might have second thoughts and relent on your new fee policy.

In light of the unfavorable feedback you have received, is there any chance of you reconsidering your position on the new fee?

Please advise your subscribers on your present intentions.

Thanks, Larry Russell

I recall a statement from SA editors just a year or so ago that emphasized basic access to articles would always be free, that such was a founding principle.  Thus, it is hard to accept the sudden change to basic free access.  As others have suggested, your need for greater revenue should have been focused upon maximizing ad fees.  It’s sad to see such a suicidal change in policy by the SA site owners.
