Rudy, I really love your content though I’m unable to support (the very much deserved) paywall. But since I just saw your last post where you opened it up to free subscribers due to importance, I thought I’d request that some posts are hidden behind paywalls for certain amount of days and then possibly being released to free subs. This is an option in the Substack settings. If possible. Much gratitude!

I will think about something like that. I'm still learning all of Substack's features and I think that is one of them.

What I just posted a minute ago should be available to all in a month.

I’m IN! Feeling very fortunate.

It’s a trade off for me....you or new clothes....picked you....fashion is overrated. Brain food is a priority.

Start dishing...

Unfortunately Substack will not accept payment from me to you. Gives me a zip code error. I’ve lived in the same place for 15 years. Use my cards daily. It’s not a me problem unfortunately. I’ve contacted Substack about this issue many times. They don’t even bother responding to me anymore.

I’ll miss your posts. Adios. Sad face emoji

Anybody else having difficulty subscribing? I've used both a Mac and PC and two different credit cards. Not sure what the problem is, other than maybe being a Boomer?

Hi Rudy - I want to be sure to keep up with you so please let me know... will this substack be your primary publishing venue going forward? I see that you have some recent posts on twitter but they appear to be mostly retweets.

Thank you!

- one of your many fans

My vote is that stream of consciousness posts are behind the paywall and long form educational posts aren't.

I'll try to post free stuff once in a while, but want to be fair to subscribers. If I get unbanned on the Twitter, I do not plan to hang out there. Tired of it all.
