Hi all;
We've all been in this movie before. I specifically commented (in Admin mode)
not very long ago about this type of thread on "growing S" ends up producing
more heat and bruised egos than action. Consider this a "pre-admin" call to cut
this one short...
We have several excellent web sites to point people to. A simple hand-out
listing these for a club to use at shows is not difficult to make and print on
a computer - maybe someone can bring a laptop and a small printer to the show
and "print on demand" to save paper and ink cost.
We have a couple of magazines. Joining NASG and subscribing to Bob Nalbone's
E-zine will help in keeping S going.
If "we" want to mail a free copy of a magazine to some list of potential
converts, "we" need to figure out how to pay for it. "They" are not going to
spend the cash just because "we" think it's a great idea.
If you really think that it's a winning idea, find out who is behind the
example, where they got their mailing list, and who paid for the effort. Then
bring that info to NASG, or find a sugar daddy, or start a fund-raising
campaign to make it happen. There is even a web site, www.Kickstart.org, that
could be used to accumulate funds for such an effort, once an actual budget has
been developed. If the project doesn't make the goal, the money goes back to
those who donated (which might make people more willing to give).
The rest of the debate is pretty much a time-wasting opinion fest without
specific people doing real work. FWIW, my hat is off to those who did the
work/spent the money on the S Sig and the new NASG site. Quietly doing stuff
works, talking about what "someone" should do not so much.
