I just got an email inviting me to become a charter member of whatever RG is called these days. Here is the reply I sent:

Dear Drew,

Over few years I helped countless RG members with their color management issues. Now I hear you wish to charge people, and me for membership. In other words, you wish to charge people for receiving help from me, and charge me for giving advice to them.


No thank you. If you charge users, then you should pay those who help them. As a color consultant my minimum rate is $100 an hour.

And by the way, I do realize that in matters of color I am a simple made man whereas Andrew is a Capo

If you're going to charge for content then you should also be willing to pay for it.
