Migcruisers digest, Vol 1 #128 - 8 msgs

[David Scholz]

I cut off the replies because the thread was getting too ling. Whats wrong
with dues? Just not in the first year so people can see how valuable this
is. I also understand about time, I have neither the time or skills to do
this but dues to help someone who can, count me in. Just a thought

Attention all MIGs!

I have covered the costs of the MIG site and mail service for some time now.
I don't regret it, frankly I'm proud to have had the opportunity and to have
helped. But it is time for someone else to pick up the torch. I'm not giving
any time limit, and no, I am not leaving MIG. I just have too much on my
plate and I need to reduce some of the stress in my life.

MIG has always been non-profit. MIG has never been "run" by anyone. I hope
MIG will continue with this tradition, and I refuse to turn it over to
anyone who does not pledge to keep it free and unmoderated. But the group
will make the decision to approve the new operator(s), not me.

This isn't cheap to operate, and if someone asks for donations to fund this,
I want to make a serious point. In the past, damn few people have actually
stepped up and actually donated time or money to keep this thing we love
going. A lot of people talk, but unless someone else decides to cover the
costs in full, you are going to have to decide if you are a real MIG, or
just taking a free ride. We have taken up collections in the past for
members who were in need, and the results have not been very good. 

So if asked, dust off your wallet and put your money where your mouth is. If
every active member put in $6 a year, it should cover the costs. 

My hat is off to Jeff, Robbie, Tina, Jeanne, Craig, Roland, Mike E, Doodles,
Eric, Shoe, my friend Paul Switzer and a several more I can't recall (but
you know who you are) who have put real effort into making MIG work in a
hundred big and small ways. I am sorry I have missed some names, but I have
only so much memory.

I want to stay involved, and I will never sell Bessy, my 98 Marauder. I'd
appreciate it if we can get this done in the next few months.
