I don't know why you got modded down. It seems like a perfectly reasonable response to me. Much like open source, we contribute articles here.

The profit of the site is intended to cover bandwidth, network administration (backups, DNS, etc), hardware and servers, and administrative stuff. OSNews is certainly not the first site to do so and most definitely won't be the last.

Anyone who has ever written a post on IMDB or Netfix, written a book review for Slashdot, etc, has contributed to someone else's profit too, but I don't hear the whining there.

However, the free MacBook Pro every two months and the use of the company Ferrari helps.

Dude, you're totally off the mark there. We don't ever get presents like that, and we sure don't get a car like that. Come on man, sheesh, lame flamer.

Ferrari, pshhh. We have an Aston Martin.

You have to wait TWO MONTHS for your new MBP? Sucker. I get a new one every 2 weeks and use the old ones as step ladders around the house.

"Help! help! I'm being repressed!"

Meh, I don't mind. The replies to the thread were only ever going to be complaints, and people with a grudge to bear. Anybody who took it to heart to contribute would have just sent an email as asked rather than bothering to reply to the thread.
