Allowing for other things I need to do - I'm projecting getting the info to Rich by midweek. I've communicated with him a little bit about this - and I'll state that I'm NOT doing this to change his mind. I'm doing this more as an informational thing, so we can look at what is really happening. There are several factors that led to this thread, and I'm realistic enough not to anticipate that the findings will do much to change the flavor.
I'm not going to pursue contacting the members until I've had a chance to go over things with Rich for two main reasons. 1) It isn't my intent to try to force this issue by coaxing people to pay up. 2) I don't want to raise the subject of renewing to keep certificates, if the program is shutting down anyway. While there are other benefits to being a paid member, there are some that no doubt look at it as buying the certificate...and I don't want to get into those issues.
