I don't think this is right for us to make rules like this for people when it is not sanctioned by the forum owners.
Jeremy Moore said:Any changes to the group exchange whereby it would require subscription status would not be done without express consent of the forum owner. This was just a poll to drum up opinions.
avandesande said:I just think that it would create confusion and hard feelings. I think subscriber perks should be in subscriber only areas.
I agree with Dave that this is not discrimination. Anyone who can afford to mail several prints to different parts of the world can afford to pay a few bucks top be a subscriber. Since we are not barring these folks from subscribing, but asking that they subscribe before participating in this particular event, I don't see it as discrimination.Marc Leest said:I voted no since this is on the edge of discrimination.

avandesande said:I could argue some more for the sake of arguing but I think most of the arguments have been made, guess it is just a matter of waiting for Sean to wake up.
Jeremy,Jeremy Moore said:With Sean switching to Apug full-time I felt that anything that adds more subscriber-only content would be a good thing as it hopefully means more influence for people to send $$$.
Actually, I think the premise or mission of APUG is *QUITE* discriminitory, but it is non-discriminatory based on an individuals personal attributes, like race or gender.Paul Sorensen said:I agree with Dave that this is not discrimination.

gr82bart said:Jeremy,
I think this is great idea. If it helps Sean increase subscriptions and consequently his full time living, I'm all for it.
It may also help in the other never-to-be-mentioned-for-fear-of-death-plus-it's-just- [moderator inserted space here] an-uncool-thing-to-call-someone-who-didn't-honour-their-committment- [moderator inserted space here] for-more-than-3-6-9-12-months-after-repeated-reminders area.
I voted YES.

You mean I can't say d-e-a-b-e-a-t-s ? Not only is it politically incorrect, it's also uncool!Satinsnow said:Way to go Art, you tied everything together with dashes and goofed up the way the page interpets the table...
