Despite our dedication to the truth, justice, and electronic computers, just like you we have to pay the bills, buy the groceries, take the cat to the vet, and otherwise make a living. We've never been shy about trying to make a buck with this newsletter while keeping it a free publication. And making a dollar on the Internet is a tough trick these days. Just look at the way high-flying "new economy" business sites are crashing and burning.
That's why we carry the ads you see in every issue. That's why we use Amazon and Beyond links, because the revenue generated by these links helps defray the not inconsiderable cost of sending 60,000 or so emails out to our friends (that's you) every other week. A great many of our readers already know this and help support TNPC by making their Amazon purchases via our links even when picking up something we haven't recommended (like a DVD copy of the "Nightmare Before Christmas"). And we APPRECIATE it too!
