Re: Guild? (was: ISP needs Flash site, chance for exposure)

[Rick Kasparek]

John - Maybe it was from you that I remembered a guild or group being

suggested before... I think this is a great idea! Sign me up!!!


a quick comment though and only my own humble opinion... a small fee

for joining can go along way toward sorting out those who are serious

about supporting the group, and those who would join on a whim. It also

serves as funding for any needed services (i.e. mailings, server space,

whatever) to support the cause. From experience I can tell you that

folks get more upset if you change from a no-fee to a fee based

membership, rather than changing from $25 a year to $35 a year <g>...

just something to consider and only my opinion.
