A notice to our readers
Bill and I have been at Ringside for nearly a year. Throughout this period, we've made all of our content available to all subscribers, paid and unpaid..
The advantage of this approach is obvious. We want our writing to be read as widely as possible.
There are, however, two related disadvantages to making all of our work available without charge. It provides no incentive for a reader to become a paid subscriber, and it provides no additional benefits for those of you who have been appreciative enough to chip in.
In order to balance these competing considerations, we'll be implementing a new policy this month. We will now restrict some of our posts -- a minority of them -- to paid subscribers. We will similarly restrict commenting rights on some of the posts we make available to everyone..
Bill and I want to express our appreciation to all of our subscribers for reading Ringside.
