true on the sponsers and their purpose; while a domain may not cost much the little things do certainly add up; especially any costs for meets/events. also if the njfboa promotes themselves at any tracks or larger events that would contribute as well to overall costs. not to mention the sponsors provide us, the consumer, with the opportunity to do more product research/comparison at vendors we may have not even known existed. and like stated before, without sponsorship FREE membership may not always be possible. and i'm brand new to the site but am already enjoying the FREE membership. haha
grandmaster cow- nice call on the ls1tech reference; wasn't sure if we could namedrop on other forum sites like that. NOOB here haha
