I won't talk about what I've purchased because that may seem vain to some people. Let's just say that I've bought more than one of everything except the cap. I'm just not a cap-kind-of-guy. I like the ideas that BigDawg had about the bandanas and poop like that. Even a coffee mug with the .org logo would be cooler than a fan. I don't think that anything would be wrong with making it a requirement to join the org. Most people that come, stay anyway and get some valuable info to boot. Not to mention that great family atmosphere around here. With the type of world that we live in today, you can't put a pricetag on something as valuable a tool as Hayabusa.org. Capt. won't ask for anything because it's his nature, but I sure don't mind asking, or maybe even roughing somebody up
to buy at least a t-shirt. Nothing wrong with that because you're getting something (quality stuff, mind you...) in return. I don't like giving my opinions about stuff like this too much because I tend to get even more overbearing than usual. Hell, I wouldn't mind paying a set nominal fee to use this site every year. Not trying to piss anyone off, but you know the sayin'..."It's better to get pissed OFF than get pissed ON..."
