Let newspaper readers have a say

Throw out an idea -- like, say, nonprofit newspapers -- and the American public will come up with ideas. In this case, the New York Times published the idea, and readers offer a lot of suggestions, including why nonprofit won't work as well as why it could. That comes along with several other suggestions.

Actually the idea brought out a number of suggestions, nicely aggregated by news.google.com.  A couple of them are pretty good.  And some are really terrible (see: comments to Techdirt blog).
