Doc,
I think I can speak for many others here on ScubaBoard when I say, if things continue to be tough...please let us know. I believe many of us are willing to do what it takes to keep the board up, running smoothly and performing what I consider a critical function for the dive community.
It's pretty clear you are reluctant to ask for more than the minumum needed, and I for one appreciate that modesty. But, thinking about it in any logical way, the cost of a movie ticket, cable for a month, or any form of entertainment is dramatically more than the voluntary membership fee for SB. That doesn't even take into consideration the cost of education, comraderie or saving all of us from making costly mistakes.
Bottom line; let us know what it takes and I know many of us are willing to step up.
Jeff
