I'm not sure what your problem is exactly. The only reason we send PR to the list is to share it with the organization. We don't receive any search engine benefit since we already pay professional news distribution companies to deliver our news to the public. See http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&tab=wn&q=%22rapid+link%22&ie=UTF-8&filter=0 . Even if there is some benefit I am missing I don't see why that is a problem. What is WISPA if not for the benefit of its WISP members?
