>When I say AM is a product, it is a wonderful one and unique. It's a daily Sky and Telescope with all the columns, advertising and reviews and is interactive for each of us.

We even are allowed to buy and sell to thousands of hobbiests!! There is no other comparable outlet for our stuff. In a direct way, we (supporters) are competing with Anacortes and sponsors! How much more of a product could one ask for?

It's design is clean, simple and inviting.

>I see advertisers (sponsors) as yet an additional source of information and entertainment. I wouldn't want to loose them from the site. It would become just another forum site. They should pay for the exposure of course. I view them in some regard as competitors to Anacortes. So, in any event, AM should be self sustaining.

>All should subscribe for the product up front.

The forums are just as important as the classifieds. We learn and can interact just as we do at a local club meeting.

There are reviews of equipment, sky objects, etc. Much more valuable than a normal paper subscription.
I constantly find myself searching other sites and academic sites because of comments made on the forums. The flow of the forums as AM has it set up is very free flowing and comfortable. Other sites are, for a variety of reasons, cumbersome and uninviting.

The fee suggested ($12.00) is exceedingly fair (too low (IMHO). There should be fees for listings. If not, then at least a fee structure should be established for levels of use (frequency).

I'll stop here for now....
