If I have to pony up my $$$ every year to support CCC, that's fine, but not if it also supports the rantings of CTF!! I also agree with Steve B that CTF has become so anti-US, anti-semitic, etc, that I don't even visit there anymore, even though I never posted there, just watched. So, if you must charge a fee for CCC, then fine, but SEPARATE it from CTF. If the loonies want to pay for their rantings, then fine ... let them, but don't make us pay for it! Mark Anderson
