I built a huge amount of software around outlining -- a programming language, editor, debugger, database, menu editor, web content management system.

They say I can get it really cheap for a certain number of weeks. Then what? Well, I thought, what if I made &lt;i&gt;them&lt;/i&gt; an offer. I thought of &lt;a href=&quot;http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/doc/&quot;&gt;Doc Searls&lt;/a&gt;. This is what he advocates. Let users make offers to vendors. So I gave it some thought and came up with $50 a year to be able to access as much of the Times site as I want, no paywall. $50 they're not getting now. Money on the table. Act now! Or make a counter, which I would consider. I don't want any limited-time offers. Give me an offer for a year, or don't make a counter at all. "></outline>
