If this publication (digital or print) is going to accomplish anything, I suggest we locate 2 or 3 scalers among us that are under 50 and give them veto authority over any BOT decisions. I guanantee that politics will kill it. On the other hand, why do we need the NASG to do this. Lots of us buy S products we'll never use for the good of the scale, how about starting an "S Scale List Fund" to finance the labor involved in putting together a digital SGMRR? If it's free, I can't imagine folks needing to be paid for pictures of their layouts. How much can a digital pub cost if all the material is donated? OK, I know I don't know what I'm talking about. But Bob's comment about taking abuse from a BOT member for sharing his opinions has got my juices flowing. Ed Kozlowsky Sanford, Maine
