Wherever you want. We are not a 'major' technology vendor. We are a small company that develops cost-effective solutions to EDI problems. I (as company owner) do not want to waste hundreds of dollars to join X12 at this point. I would ask how many other people on this list are members of X12 or think that the membership fees and publication prices are justified? Why are you getting so bothered, Mike? I was complaining about DISA's prices, not X12. > >I am not interested in supporting an organization that is able to spend > >$38,000 > >per month for 'occupancy'. > > *Was* able to spend - as you'll note from Mr. Anderson's previous reply the > current figure is significantly less. Agreed. Why did they move? What were the previous premises like? Do you think that $38,000 per month was a lot of money? > I am sorry that you are refusing this invitation to join X12.

Thanks for the invitation, but I don't think the fee is justifiable or worthwile at this point. I congratulate and encourage those people who wish to participate. I will continue to list free EDI resources on the Internet, contribute to this public mailing list and when necessary, complain about practices that need exposure. ------------------------ Yahoo!
