Oh, there are pitfalls in the whole notion of taking money for running a list
that are as wide as the Grand Canyon.  Still, it's an interesting notion.  I've
hit an interesting notion even on my list.  The hotel-motel association in New
Orleans absolutely *hates* bed-and-breakfasts, because they cut into the big
boy's $$$.  My list likes the little places (they talk about them all the
time), but the big hotels would be more likely to pay $$$ to advertise specials
and such.  Talk about conflict of interest...
