[amsat-bb] Re: fund raising for Fox

I would reduce the paid up members fee to free, raise the dues a little 
if you want to, to make up for it...

Everybody has to use their AMSAT.org call sign, this would establish the 
current paid up database.

For Non paid up members you could charge anything you want...up to 
you...even sell monthly or yearly privileges...at whatever rate.

Responders to questions could choose to answer direct at no cost or to 
the BB at the going rate determined by their paid status.

Those who want copies of responses could ask for them and be included in 
non personal replies.

Different AMSAT organizations could provide members in "good standing" 
lists to the central clearing house "paid" members list.

Lastly, give a senior discount...oops, there goes all the 
money....forget the senior discount.
