I actually did run a separate Website for a short time during 2016. However, it required a lot of time to run the site and it needed more participation from others to make it viable. In addition, it raised concerns of "spamming" when I cross-referenced the other site to DU even though I did not have receive any financial compensation from advertising or solicit financial contributions.

I also expect that I might have to limit my posting during 2018 for other reasons so if I'm going to relaunch a site then I need tio get through the upcoming hurdles and also investigate turning it into a for-profit site. I don't know if I want to take on the liabilities that may entail. For the time-being I intend to remain on DU since this is a more effective platform for reporting the news to a larger audience.
