I recognize the desirability of much of which you propose. I simply don't know of any publication, web-based or print, that even begins to do what you would like to see. Why is that so? It suggests strongly to me that it isn't really dollars-and-cents practical. Undoubtedly, my coming off a 50-year business career colors my view of what is and is not achievable.The missing elements are the will and the skill to do most of it. And the money, of course. But it sounds like you are presupposing a core group of gifted writers and thinkers who are -- if they're that gifted -- unlikely to settle for the pittances their gifts would bring in this niche-within-a-niche hobby/marketplace. So they'd pretty much have to independently wealthy to begin with, and we'd really have to care and trust them and open our pockets to support their venture. Highly unlikely, I fear.
