Vetteheads
I went over there -- I had it bookmarked from the first. I see that there is a membership dues requirement. Dues, I can handle; the charter membership thing, tho, was a bit too steep for a retiree. Howsomeever, nowhere do I find the amount of the dues. How in tarnation can one make a decision on joining if he can't find out the price tag?
I enjoyed the discussion on the responsibility of the reader in any communication. Well, isn't there some responsibility on the writer in communicating? Like telling you the cost of membership.
HELLS-FIRE & DAMNATION !! :mad

Besides, I didn't know the Prez had anything to do with it; I thought you just had to attend 30-40 judging schools and you were one. :rolleyes:

Click on "VH Forum", and you can get a flavor by reading the posts...you'll recognize the names, and you'll see one or two that will surprise you. I think I have already discerned the identity of "Anonymous 1"; and No, George, it is NOT Joe Lucia. Very interesting! :D :D :D

Some of the best deals on the internet are paid for by advertisers...I like'em; in my opinion it's a great deal for everybody. The sponsored organizations just have to make sure FROM THE BEGINNING that advertisers know what they are getting for their money, i.e. keep them at arm's length.

Is there some logic here I missed, it happens, I don't always understand the ulterior motivations offered up for public consumption.
RE Advertising,
is great unfortunately this puts everyone in the position to dance to their music as evidenced by the NCRSs "arrangement" with GM...Don’t step on their toes by badmouthing their product, (Aztek), or they will take their ball and go home.

Actually, Jer, it was a clear reference to a conversation on the Vetteheads:
Jer (paraphrased): We could set up a table right next to the NCRS tent.
Mystery Voice (paraphrased): You do, and I'll see that you NEVER make Master Judge.
Try that gingkoba stuff, Jer, it's supposed to work wonders of ole geezer brains. :D :D :D
Now about advertising: It has already been demonstrated by many internet entities, including CF, that you can accept the benefits of advertising without becoming the advertisers' HO'.
That was just for us "initial" crazy idiots that believed Ken (i.e. one time thing to get the site up and running). The rest is now basically "maintenance" costs, so yearly dues are cheap. Hopefully the ashore will have all this on the site soon. Hard to attract folks if ya don't know what the pig is gonna cost :D
We'll just need to give Ken a little more time, hell, he's probaly only working 18-20 hrs a day on this. He's got room to "improve". :troll

The annual membership fee is to insure that Vetteheads will remain independent of advertising. Like Don, I believe the annual membership is $18. Vetteheads would be proud to have you as a member. We also understand your position regarding hard earned knowledge. Vetteheads will be copy protected to visitors but not members ,(as I understand it), and, of course, you have the option of not contributing information to any board. I would be saddened by that decision as I have benefited from your expertise on many occasions.
