Mark,
     You might be right about that...perhaps bringing out selfishness is a
bit harsh, especially since there are so many of such different ages.
     But I also have to think that talking legal action (see
http://news.lugnet.com/admin/general/?n=10734 )is taking it a bit far, too.
I just want people to realize that even  if we were never to get these
things, we still get much more than $10 worth of community for our
membership fees.  And I believe that not acknowledging the hard and often
thankless work done essentially by fellow fans is just disrespectful.

     I agree that it's not wrong to be disappointed by this, and it's not
wrong to ask about it.  But I think that to be as pushy about it as some are
being **IS** wrong, and starts one thinking about how important it really
could be.
     A good $0.02 - thank you for sharing it with me.

Peace and Long Life,
Tony Alexander
