SC - An Immodest Proposal--OOP (was re: Florilegium)

[Wajdi]

I, for one, would be willing to pay a modest fee, say $1.00/month, to access the
Flori-thingy.  What say the rest?  That would come to $12.00/year, and hell, I
waste more than that in spillage (I know, somebodies mumbling something about
substance abuse).  What saith the list??
