As a fairly newcomer, I read forum for several weeks before I joined and subscribed to magazine. I was gaining so much good info that I felt I needed to support the ones making this possible. Every thing I have ordered or in the plans has and will come from the vendors on this forum. My thoughts are: 1. Access and reading of forum and archives to remain a free service, with a membership fee to gain full access to post and access to any PB sponsored media on site. 2. E-mag would be good in some aspects, but I still like my hard copy. Can see though that having magazine articles archived would be a big advantage. 3. Would a donation option(even on a trial basis) be a better and less cumbersome option than membership?? Lamar
