Roy....Have you checked out www.sscale.org

Have you checked out Bob's photos on www.sscale.org

Have you checked out the new product reviews on www.sscale.org  More new 
product reviews are in progress as you read this.

Have you seen anything with higher production values than 
www.sscale.org

This has already been done in order to finance www.sscale.org  

Six folks started up the new S Sig for your enjoyment and for the promotion of 
S scale to non-S folks.  We "bosses" have already invested hundreds of dollars 
in this project which is now slowly moving out of the roundhouse, but has not 
yet reached the mainline.  We even have a Voluntary Contribution opportunity 
for folks to use.  We bosses are working hard, but help from you would be 
appreciated.

This is in our future -- eventually. Check out www.sscale.org

The opportunity to do this exists right now.  Use the Voluntary Contribution 
opportunity and you will see an S scale promotional campaign the likes of which 
you have never seen.  Check out

www.sscale.org 

> Roy, who has great ideas for everyone else to accomplish

Roy....Your ideas are already in action.  At the early stages right now, but 
progressing ahead at a good steady pace.  Check out

Bill....It can be done and it is being done electronically for very little cost 
compared to a printed magazine.  Check out www.sscale.org

The NMRA-affiliated S Sig has your name already.  Have you signed up for the 
daily digest yet?  Check out www.sscale.org  No need to be a member of any 
organization.  Just sign up as you would for any other Yahoo Group.

> really want to expand and see our S gauge grow, <snip>

That is why the S Sig was formed -- to expand and grow S scale by promoting it 
to non-S modelers in other scales.  Check out www.sscale.org

> No More POO! POOing! on the idea!

The S Sig is not pooing pooing anything that you propose.  It is happening 
right now before your very eyes.  Although the S Sig is barely off the starting 
block, there are many MANY things in progress that have not yet been posted 
onto the web site.  

Want to help?  Send me an email and I will find a task for you.  Everyone who 
has offered to help now has a new task on their to-do list.  I can find 
something for you to do if you want to volunteer.  Flakes need not apply.

If you have no time (which is understandable), using the Voluntary Contribution 
button will help us just as much.  Many other folks have made small 
contributions.  You can too!  When they add up, the marketing campaign will 
begin.

Check out www.sscale.org

Bill and Roy.....I hope you both appreciate my subtle and subliminal method of 
informing you that your ideas are excellent and are already in progress.  

Why not actively help us instead of complaining that nothing is being done?

With love and affection......Ed Loizeaux,  www.sscale.org
