In an absolute stroke of marketing genius, CNL Publisher Jeff Noedel announces .....
"Starting Monday, about one-third of CNL content will be available to CNL subscribers only. This is a permanent change from the once-a-day to once-every three or four days we've been at since we began with our subscription in January." (Announced on 7/22/2010 in CNL article viewable by ALL readers not just the PAID subscribers.)
Herman Hearsay observes ..... "If hiding one-third of CNL content is a good idea, why wouldn't it be an even better idea to hide 100% of CNL content? That way casual readers wouldn't have to read any of it! Why must CNL employ these bait-and-switch, teaser marketing tactics? Make 100% of your content available to paid subscribers ONLY! We think that's what CNL should do! Of course, if you do that, your paid advertisers might not be too happy. It seems to us that CNL is on the horns of a great dilemna!"

I'll bet the people advertising with Jeff are really going to find out their ads won't reach anyone. Good move Jeff, along with the lawsuit you won't be around much longer. I feel your pain. Otis
