It is my belief that this would help solve three problems. Since I value the content and utility of this list if it were focused on its intended purpose, I might be willing to pay quite a lot.
If the price were set properly, it would help seperate out the group that places value on belonging to this list and those that don't.
Secondly, the proceeds could be used to pay a moderator. I think this is important, since it does take time to perform the function and it is unfair to expect someone with a brain to do it for free. This presumably would result in better quality as well.
Finally, any excess proceeds could be used to defray the cost of hosting NANOG meetings.
I know that the NANOG organizers are already quite busy. I would volunteer to initiate this program under the auspices of NANOG.
Kind regards,

The signal to noise ratio on this list has been abominable for a long time and I'm tired of deleting all the useless drivel. I'm jumping ship with the rest. Goodbye....
