Gosh - didn't realise wanting to obtain a book was unreasonable. I guess if you aren't a paid up member, you shouldn't benefit, especially if its just an interest. I do rejoice that Taqui's book is once more available, just saddened that someone has decided who shall or shan't have access to it on the basis of monetary 'membership' rather than passion for the topic.
True Alan, you didn't turn me away. I've chosen not to join for just these reasons. Exclusivity isn't my way of doing things, but I wish TARS well. This site alone is worth it and often I've met with such generosity of spirit that a little exclusion matters not at all.
