FOR ALL THE NEW SIGN-UPS
First off, thank you all so much. One of the real values of Substack is a writer gets immediate feedback on whether what’s being produced is any good - from whether you guys sign up or not.
I look forward to seeing this community come together and create something interesting for all of us.
For all of you who signed up for free, allow me to present some good reasons for you to consider becoming a paid subscriber:
You get to comment on all posts. We had a couple “drive-by idiots” early on, and the solution was to limit posting to those who have some commitment to the success of the blog.
You get material the freebies don’t get. Right now, I am in the middle of posting the first chapter of my coming book,”the Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club.” The eight-part “Shooting at Flying Fish” is the real story about the Tonkin Gulf Incident, an event that changed my life. If you get a paid subscription, you’ll get access to all of that, and there will be more to come. The minimum is $7/month, and if I don’t deliver, you can cancel at any time - I think it’s a bargain. I hope you’ll consider.
