Hi Ed, Bill and anyone who wants a printed directory -- We will let you gather the list, and a signed waiver from every listed person which relieves the NASG and all of its members of any responsibility for whatever the data gets used for, and away you go! We will even let you use the on-line directory to look up members (ten at a time)! I suspect that by the time you have looked up 30 or 40 members, you will discover how easy the on-line directory is to use. If you are looking up old friends who are no longer members, that is a problem...
Maybe what you want is a directory based upon this and other Yahoo groups and the S Scale SIG. How that plays with everyone, I have no idea, but it sounds like an excellent project for Ed Loizeaux!... <grin> Have fun!

It could be printed on 3-hole paper so that the end user could conveniently use a 3-ring binder. Some postage and the deed is done. Print up a half dozen, put 'em in inventory (along with track gages, etc.) and sell them to those who order one. Charge triple what the cost really is (ink & paper & stamps). Make a profit and keep the members happy. Eliminate the complaints. Bill Lane will smile! Naturally, those who are listed would be expected to approve in advance this invasion of their treasured privacy. Sounds like an idea to me. Cheers....Ed Loizeaux
