I haven't been involved in the club very long, but I think that the action taken here shows a great love for the club and the hobby. I have followed the chipboard since I learned about its presence, and the frequency of the messages posted that involve certain parts of the club (survival of the convention, new membership recruitment, etc) has been heavy at times. While this method is hitting 3 men directly in the pocket (the easiest way to remedy a problem sometimes, which is no slight against the action), it shows that taking action the right way can lead to excellent results.
I was just on chiptalk and it seems like about 3 new members will be joining our ranks. Those are some quick results. Nice work in cross posting Jim, there was no way that someone on chiptalk wouldn't take the bait.
Archie, John and Michael - I tip my hat to you for helping the club grow.
