Jeroen Very interesting and congratulations on your success...just curious of the membership mix?
Are they younger, older, mixed? Are they Commuters? Small Business / Independents ? Other? Are they technical or non-technical or a mix? Thanks, Mike PS: I am back down to three members, all older, all non tech. No commuters, all small business.
