Grouptalk Status - Alive and Running on a new server

[Peter Howie]

Hi Carole,

I think it is a worthy thing to attempt to do.

Of course it could be that there are members of  the USA association 
who have different views and it would be good to know what they are. 
At present, in the absence of data it seems like a slightly mindless 
or bloody-minded decision that any right thinking person could 
immediately reverse.(;))  By making the attempt as you suggest we 
then open ourselves to the possibility of finding out about the 
decision. It could be for instance that some members actively dislike 
the forum. It could be that there are other priorities given that 
your association much like ours is probably strapped for cash most of 
the time. It could be that it is an oversight. It could be a 
political play - using the definition that politics arise because of 
unresolved interpersonal conflict. It could be that the number of 
association financial members using grouptalk is very low as a 
percentage of users.

So it will be most illustrative to see what comes.

Personally I quite like the idea of making a payment here or there. 
Of course from Australia a wire transfer costs about $80 so sending a 
$1 is ludicrous. However Tom deserves an honourarium or honorarium as 
it is written in the USA so sending a personal honourarium is highly 
worthwhile. I run a small training centre that people utilise and pay 
for when they are making money. Sometimes significant money is paid 
over after years of quietly subsidising a person through free 
training rooms or meeting rooms. It is quite wonderful.

Cheers
