Peter did clearly say that that was a specific service that he would be willing to fork out for. He didn't say "LA should raise membership fees from $0 and then give me stuff to justify it". Having spent three years on the board of Linux Australia I would note that we greatly prospered in terms of legitimacy and buy-in from the decision (taken just before Pia, Stewart, Leon, Tridge, Hugh and I joined) to drop membership fee to $0. So I can't imagine that changing that is going to find much support. James, you're missing a bet. Paying for a valued service is one thing. Value for membership is another - which is one of the reasons most people can't fathom why they should pay ACS $300 a year. AfC Sydney -- Save Pluto! http://plutopetition.com/
