Gene:

I do not beleive that 3rd party serivces were ever a threat to the hobby either - which is why I do not understand the continued resitatance, by some, to them being in this hobby.

However, by posting the item you did, it can only bring about addtional discussion.

As with anything else, there are some services that are betters then others. Could there be improvements within the industry? Of course there could be. Will the reform to the point that they become acceptable to some in this hobby? I would surmise given the stance by some, probably not. However, by working against them rather than trying to work with them, they will not change.
