You seem to ignore the part where we pay more than $250 per release to have our release issued by a professional distribution company. You also seem to ignore that this is a free list that we would have access whether we are a WISPA member or not. Further, where was your outrage when other releases were shared with the list? Its not like Rapid Link is the only WISPA member to have ever sent a copy of our release to the free list.

All this time we haven't contributed a thing to the industry and have managed to sucker WISPA into our own personal PR machine for the small price of $250 per year. -Matt -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
