Probably liability issues. Think of it this way, would you invite 20-50 strangers to your place not knowing which of them might get hurt and sue you? $200/use is not bad - 20 peeps X $10 ea. Do it as a subscription. 1. People sign up and send in checks/cash/money orders for a topic. 2. When dollar threshold is met, date is set and room reserved. 3. Amounts collected over the threshold apply to the next session. -- Mike Moving forward in pushing back the envelope of the corporate paradigm. -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
