~~~ do get someone who visits our club board asking a question regarding ID or value, it just doesn't look too good when a club member has to respond to that person's post and direct them away from the club board explaining that's where they'll reach a larger audience... I mean; if I go to a site such as the XYZ Orchid Society to ask a question about a certain orchid, I should think that nobody will pop up and say -- "Hey, dude, try this site down the road where there are other orchid growers who can help you."

It's not that anyone has suggested to NOT post educational material at TheChipBoard.com... they're only saying to utilize the club board for the educational purposes mentioned as that's were the posts are being stored for "Favorites" and whatever all else.
