I decided that it was too much to take on for one person alone, although I still entertain these fantasies about some kind of email cooperative organization; owner-members, sort of like food coops or other cooperatives. That way the work could be divided among the members. It seems to me that a fairly small group could do it. But then somewhere along the way, there would arise issues of trust, and we would have to draw up some sort of formal legal agreements, and then ... gradually, eventually ... we would become prisoners of a smaller version of the very thing that we set out to escape.
