Hi Dave,

I enjoy getting your postings, and read or browse through many. Question: 
did you, or are you interested in, posting my recent article in the FT 
online, on info industry market failure? More generally, would you be 
interested in posting the articles of all of us, to give them some added 
circulation, and maybe some new subscribers to the FT, so they are happy 
too?  My recent piece got some traction on its own already.

Warm regards, Eli
