The fact that there is a "free" membership is enough proof that SLAGA is aware of other means of contributions including pot luck items at events, helping set up, and even the feedback on the elist and logs. Also, the website makes it clear that contributing members just pay dues and have some benefits from that. It is all in perception of the label contributing over member. A person who has a premium account on geocaching.com is not truly more premium of a cacher... but they paid up and they get cool stuff. In short, don't sweat the small things. This is not a group of judging people, just hide and seekers with big appetites. $0.02 that may not even be worth that. **************************************** For List Info or To make _ANY_ changes, including unsubscribing from this list, click -----> //www.freelists.org/list/geocaching Missouri Caches Scheduled to be Archived http://tinyurl.com/87cqw
