Mark,
I did not state that "non members" should be eliminated. As a matter of fact, many of those same people bring a wealth of information to the site and we have lost some of the best. What I said in short was, if you are only coming here for the sole purpose of selling your part and leaving without contributing to the clubs longevity then please take your business somewhere else. Most of those clowns that have done that have stiffed a lot of people here. Whether you are a paid member or not does not make you immune from getting taken advantage of. I have nothing against readers being non members and as recently as last week I was one of them.
Do these same people expect to go to a local car club show and get a swap space to sell their parts at no charge especially if they were none club members?
Rick
