There are many good points raised for and against membership. I think a change in format would discourage new members from gaining an interest in folk and blues music. Since we want to encourage that, I am generally against making it a members only club. Spaw is a venerable member and I support his position. On the negative side, I would appeal to Max to moderate on occasion; and to try and identify and stop those who post in an offensive manner. Yours, Aye. Dave
