    Not really. They're coming up with their own free-market solution, rather than looking to the government to solve their problems through bailouts or regulation.

    Pretty sure they both won't be around in 5 years for that to happen.

    As do Houston and SAntonio share travel stories.

    Reducing competition by agreement between competitors is not a "Free market" solution. It's an attempt to manipulate the market by creating a monopoly. This idea has antitrust suit stamped on its forehead.

    Foolish statement. Combining resources IS a bad thing. Go back and re-read the LANG thread about sharing and coordinating, and see how that worked out.

    There's nothing foolish about it. It may be the last resort for print media. The problem, as I see it, greed comes into play.

    I wouldn't exactly compare sharing delivery routes to sharing content.

    I was speaking about sharing everything and used that as an example.

    But if the market doesn't like it, the problem will take care of itself rather than staying artificially inflated through other means. The free market takes care of itself.

    That said, I don't like their solution any more than you do.

    You're the same guy telling people on another thread that if young writers "want it enough," they'll be just fine.

    I wasn't trying to be funny. I could see that as a precursor to one of them buying out the other one. As will be the case in DFW.
