Hi John: I was thinking about that management issue myself and realized that it probably costs less in time for Don to run a free board than to try to manage a roster as you point out. Agree with you about "free rides", 'cause I lurked around here for a couple of years before officially "signing up" myself! We oughta make it easy for interested parties to get "free samples" ! :lol:capnjuan said:The mechanics, accounting, and headaches of paid membership are serious stuff; endlessly notifying members that they owe dues/subscription money, keeping track of it, what to do with Lurkers ... what about existing members who no long visit or post ... do they pay?
I don't think I'd care that somebody who didn't chip in got a 'free ride' so long as they didn't act like jerks.

"Are you ready when she is?" ... "Wanna save a buck or two on car insurance?" Speaking for myself, I'd pay not to look at that stuff and I don't think I'd care that somebody who didn't chip in got a 'free ride' so long as they didn't act like jerks.
Good work John and I'd rather pay than the alternatives you cite!!
