Tim ,I concur with Robert, as much of the information that is exchanged is simply not on the Net.
Often times, ads especially are only found in the publications.
I suppose that for myself, I quest for knowledge and try to utilize as many forms of media as possible, including the net, variuos forums and most published magazines.
You must ask yourself whether you find these excellent resources valuable or not. Due to the fact that we are a small but dedicated few, we should pool our knowledge. Many of the organizations have non paid volunteers who spend a great amount of time and work and can use as much support as possible to make them a worthwhile venture for those involved.
No offense intended, but, if a person has the money to be playing with these toys, surely a few bucks for joining a group or two is not out of line...
