Syd is correct the old forum will always be free to registered members so you don’t have any worries there. The new forum is also free to read, it’s only those that want the Hi-Res jpeg’s, pdf’s and other scans where membership is required. Like any club we have expenses so the membership fee (just£30) covers that, which we think benefits the global community as well, but quite understand if you don’t want to join-in, its not compulsory. The forum has attracted many new members where we have supplied scans etc. and have simply made it more public as a service to the community. Like you we try to help, and Paul you are very knowledgeable so would be sad to lose you. I also know that sometimes it all stretches our diplomacy skills. So do email me if you require any more clarification. The new site is atracting lots of complimenterary comments so it will not be going away!
For the benifit of every one once we have tweeked some of the bugs and mistakes we should be adding data soon after MLA EXPO25.
