   I thank those of you who have filed out the form already. I will post the   
   results in a week    
   or so so e can together decide what areas would appeal to the masses.   
      
   In the meantime, I want to suggest something that I proposed in the past and   
   was    
   soundly rejected.   
      
   One of my Local conference areas is called 'Business Advertisers'.  I would   
   like to    
   network this for the following reason:  years ago, I had several businesses   
   wanting to    
   advertise.  I told them that for a small fee, they could post an ad on my   
   system and it    
   was quickly networked to 3 counties in Florida that were tied into my HobbyNet   
   system.   
      
   We are always looking to expand our BBS to reach more people.  Why not use it   
   to    
   provide ads for businessmen?   
      
   It was very well received in the 80's and 90's.   
      
   You would give your business customer special access to be able to post his   
   ad.  Non-   
   paid users would be able to read, but not post.   
      
   I don't expect that sysOps would agree because they say their users are only   
   sysOps.     
   But I promote this feature locally on Alignable and other social media and   
   have had a    
   good response.  Just food for thought.
