The SETI League certainly supports information sharing, Larry. That is why
we sponsor (at our dues-paying members' expense) two open email lists, and
an extensive (and rather expensive) website. But, The SETI League has been
running a $50,000 US per year deficit for the past two years, and has VERY
FINITE resources. Since September 2001 donations (our sole source of
operating funds) are down an alarming 90%. Thus it is not in the best
interest of our loyal members in good standing to open up all of our forums
to hams not willing or able to contribute to our financial
needs. This is the reality: if people like you don't join, for
whatever valid reason, we will simply cease to exist, and then there will
be NO resource sharing. I invite you to download our latest Annual Report
from the website (on the main page, scroll down to "Administrivia" and
follow the link) to see just how critical our situation has become.
Thanks for your interest in SETI science, pattern recognition, and
LDEs (interests which many of our members share).
73, Paul N6TX
