I am someone who, having come across the Tarboard by accident, enjoy dipping into it at fairly regularly intervals, but have never chosen to join TARS. I enjoyed the S&A books as a child and enjoyed sharing them with my own children. I find many of the threads interesting and entertaining so why do I not join?

Reason 1: For someone geographically isolated from most other members it is too expensive. Would there be a possibility of an "out-of-town" membership at a lower rate? (I live in the Mid-West of the USA)

Reason 2: I am not particularly attracted by the political infighting that shows up at intervals on tarboard.

Reason 3: As an expatriate who has live in the USA for most of my life, I find the occasional sniping at new-world usage and life style condescending and objectionable.

I am providing this as feedback for the ‘Development Committee’.
