I am not saying that the current system is not workable and cannot be
made to make a profit. What I have done is given an example of a
different system for TLAs and Rating Fees that could possibly be used.

You have a lot of good ideas in your post. One thing that should happen is
for the USCF to cover or make a profit on the ratings service. First, they
should cost it out and then set a fee at 150% of the cost. Second, if the
resulting fee would generate price resistance, the costs should be reduced.
Probably through streamlining and modernization. Third, they should charge
the price and ignore all the whining from the scholastics folks. Either we
all pay our way or we do without.
