i manage to do so using money i make elsewhere. the information i put on the internet is either of benefit to people or a matter of vanity. i don't afford special concern to people who want to use the internet for profit.

So you have never sold anything, or participated with other people or groups that have sold anything online because you believe that they should not use the internet for profit?

this rhetoric is not compelling to me.

This is not rhetoric and dodging a yes / no question is not an answer.

You didn't deny it.

So I am assuming you sold something or participated with other people or groups that have sold something for profit on the internet.

Because of this, undermining your own argument.

> i manage to do so using money i make elsewhere

And the place you work at most likely has an internet presence (highly likely) to sell products and services?

You don't want them to make a profit if they have an internet presence?

You're living in a fantasy land.

I think if everyone with a website made a small financial loss on it, the web would be immeasurably better.

How?
