I like to join the comment above.
You are offering enthusiast, addicted catsailors from all over the world a platform for discussion and exchange of experiences in all their shapes.
I know there are members who check this site every day on a fixed time for something interesting and/or to join the talk. Infact it has becoming to feel like a sort of (virtual)club for a lot of us.
That having said, I can't escape on the thought why this membership is still for free. Yes,yes, maybe I get this whole forum now over me. But thinking about this subject, it is a quite logical conclusion.
By the way, with paid membership, the forum is still open for everybodyelse to read!
Rick, you provide a large group of people with something which they all like (and need). I'm sure this question of paying membership has crossed your mind several times in the past and maybe now again.
It plees for your modesty that you never suggested that (as far as I know).
I personally wouldn't have any objection to pay a annual membership fee (25 bugs????).
And I would do that thankfully and with joy in my hart!
I'm very curious to the opinion of other members. Let's discuss this, we are all grownups.
I can vouch for your store Rick you get the gear from the store to Aus in quick time and my subscription to Catsailor magazine is cheap and a good read
