I suggest that in order for newbees to learn and appreciate the product, especially the lite version, the cost should not exceed $18 Even at that, a struggling newbee may not be able to "get in the game". Also, hopefully trainings and videos could come in handy!

I know I spend way to much time reading emails but it is so additive. You are made to feel like you will be left out if you don't respond right away. Thanks for the comments. I love reading your posts. Bill

I might settle for twice a week, but if I can move all urgent communication to other non-intrusive media, then once a week it is. <b>John</b>: In an ideal world (dum-de-dum), all my readers would use RSS to be notified of new blog posts. However I remember reading somewhere that many people don't even know what RSS means, and that it only accounts for something like 2-5% of a readership. I've tried a few RSS readers, and quite frankly they all sucked big time. Either the layout, or the notification method or both meant that it wasn't a pleasant experience. And of course many sites use extracts rather than the complete feed. Anyway what I'm trying to say is, unless you're one of the technorati who jump on every new thing as it appears, RSS isn't yet viable. The most effective way to get to people is still by email. And unless someone comes up with a truly great RSS reader, that's the way it will stay. And... I'm on a LOT of mailing lists myself. ;) -Frank.

I rather like the look of the spoken alerts plug-in that's available! I'm coming to the same conclusions as you about email. I check it far too often and probably 95% of it makes no real difference to me, or to my customers. Still not completely convinced about the once a week thing, but you seem to be getting there, so who knows?
