Hi, Matt: I think part of what you're seeing here is people who've put together anthologies, and know first-hand how difficult it is to sell them, even if they're great--hence the skepticism as to whether this is a viable model. And as Tim points out above, there's something to be said for keeping OOP stories online for free.

That said, I'm leaning towards putting a story or two up, just to see if anything happens. Hopefully it'd be another channel to reach readers through.

I can see already that it'd be pretty easy to put together an antho of Odyssey alums :-)
