Member - Royce
Paid up again and am a fair dinkum member. It's nice to really 'belong.
I hardly ever use other member benefits, but do sometimes.
$40 hurts a little bit. I just wonder if there isn't a heap of lurkers and non members who wouldn't be happy to join up as '
forum members' for say $10 or $20, but don't see the benefit of the full initial join up and on going.
Okay... I'm a bit stingy, tight, cheap and spendthrift.
However, I just lost a load of horse feed off the back of the effie! The plastic wrapping broke. Even though I had it
well tied down, the pallet load wriggled free. Live and learn. Son has explained that you need to thread the rope through the pallet and tie the bags onto it as
well as tying down.
Cost me around $120 in lost pellets spread across the road.
So here I sit .... a paid up member, grumpy at what today has cost. ... grumpy old man me!

Royce I doubt that you are really that "stingy, tight, cheap". It's quite normal to question the cost verses the value of any
membership to an individual that may not have the need to take advantage of all the many benifits that there are on offer? For me as a non member reducing the cost to $10 would make no difference (money is not the issue). It's more the principle of paying to be a member of a commericial business that is flooded with adds & offers to buy at every level with benifits that are of little use to me personally.
Besides I see there are other ways apart from
membership to contribute positively to this site like spending in the
shop, answering
forum questions or submitting photo's or
track logs etc.

Here Here.....its a question of worth.....If you think its value you buy it, if not you don't.
I've been on both sides....this way suits me
