Geoff you still have not replied to me as to whether you received my PayPal payment of Nov 1 2009 for $55 AUD being the MLU's share of the few MLU Calendars sold so I have to ask if I am concidered to be amongst the 25 or am I concidered to be bludging off others who have donated?

Don't be silly, Cliff... of course I received it (as PayPal will confirm) and no, you don't owe me a cent - the work you've done for ALL of us over the years more than demonstrates your dedication to this hobby and to the world of MLU.

I salute you... you've done far more than your share.

Thanks Geoff I appreciate the kind words. I'll try and send more when I can as I have benefited greatly from all the other members posts and knowledge as well.

I am sorry Geoff if you are not getting the support you need.

I belong to another military forum, who just open a bank when funds are needed and when they have enough they close it down.

The sorry fact is that out of 3000 visitors they only get about 50 who chip in.

I suppose that some think my small pittance is not enough but if every one threw in but $10 then you would have a good bank.

Other than having a levy coupled to various levels of membership seems that is the way that many forums are going. I do not know the answer but there are some who think the internet is free.

The site I run, airman aircrew has no levies mainly because we have a most generous memeber who picks up the tap. I suspect that a levy would produce the same results as you.

If you have a levy, some will go away. However the answer is would they be missed.

Regards

Col
