Thanks - I appreciate the concern about the costs to run the site, but they're minimal for now and I'm more than happy to cover it. Might eventually try to monetize the site and upcoming newsletter, but there are better ways to do it than charging readers.

No, there isn’t. Let me guess, running ads?

It seems to me that they heard a suggestion for the site to be made available only to people who pay and the suggester was instead suggesting that there be a donation / "buy me a beer" link.

Indeed, there are ways to monetize such a thing that exclude both charging all of your users and selling advertisement space.
