Hmmm...I suppose this answers the original question.  Rapid is NOT 
paying for the benefit (as a principle member) and you expect that 
your $250 makes up for your using this list as a PR list for Rapid 
(not WISPA).

Ahh. Let's take a quick look at the other portion of this "stab".

1. I am a VENDOR member and paid for that benefit.  And as soon as I 
get the link to pay for the next year, I will be again this year.

2. Those posts (some of which are not the wispa list) are almost 
entirely composed of information that is in direct answers to 
questions posted on this list.  (Other than those posts which came 
as a benefit to my VENDOR MEMBER status, or were separately paid 
prior to my joining as a vendor.)

3. I spent MANY hours of volunteer time in building the CALEA 
Standard that will benefit not only WISPA and it's membership, but 
ALL WISPs.

4. I spent over $1000 just recently for both ISPCON and the MUM that 
did not directly benefit me, but was to benefit WISPA and help 
announce the WISPA CALEA Standard.  I did not have a booth at either 
show.

5. My website has a link on EVERY PAGE back to WISPA's homepage, so 
there is MUTUAL BENEFIT.

I am having a hard time seeing a parallel situation between us. 
Again, if the membership sees no problem with your using these 
servers for your announcements, then neither do I...It was, after 
all just a question.
