Also WISPA operates this very list free of charge. It has a charter to keep things civil and productive. JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER LARGE MAILING LIST OUT THERE!! I have no problems with the charter, and would be concerned if you didn't have one.

It's produced amazing end products that everyone in the industry benefits from. :) To all those that support WISPA....Thank you very much!
