I do think you'd find that if accommodation pricing, long-term loans, etc., were limited most of the online journals would dry up. For the people who contribute there, these (and the opportunity to listen to the gear they review) is their only form of compensation. I could earn more writing for other markets, but Stereophile does provide me with better-than-token compensation. Still, I think you would have to assume that if you want to employ good writers, and you intend to take away their perks, you'd best plan on paying them a good bit more.Jim
