My point was to comment on YOUR (Byron) initial suggestion to SELL/CHARGE for membership subscriptions for a FEE $ 10.00 per year. Your own "tone" in that post suggested you were expecting some feedback of disagreement. VOILA ! Your post suggest an EXCLUSIVE membership open only to those who paid in the $10 FEE per year. And a "listing fee" for posting on the "FOR SALE: etc ( Now That's a GOOD idea). Just how much money would the $ 10 FEE generate??. ( I'd really like to get the answer to your opinion on that ). And how many new members would a MANDATORY FEE entice ? Donations , as in "Friends of FAOL" could be a bit more obviously promoted and not necessarily limited to high or low. But to charge a yearly FEE (or else) would be a bad idea. Now just what does that have to do with how I "FEEL" about FAOL ?
And now, while you sit under the palm shade sipping your Mai Tai from an umbrellad hollowed out pineapple, I must to return to work. :>) NB- Smiley ?
