I think we need to try to make it happen here first. This place has the most guys with the most information. I feel that the problem is that a few, far too few, vendors were advertisers in the Twelve Port News and when this BB was formed they were brought along. Out of respect for them rules were put in place to give them first shot at us. Thats OK in a way but it gets in the way of members finding what we need at the best price. The lump port wars alone point this out. It needs to be fixed but I don't know how. I'm sure we all have lots of web addresses for people who like our business. One part of the problem is that as a club web site I don't think any one person is empowered to make huge decisions. Tim does a good job for us but I think they fear loosing the few sponsors we have. Why would they pay if others got listed for free. It's one of those dilemma deals. We should discuss it with Tim first for sure. Beater
