Got my FSC re-up yesterday

Tommy, I don't disagree - FSC as a concept is wonderful - but if they keep the join price too high, they end up shunning the very people that this organization would help the most.

The fact that this business is cheap to get into only makes the $300 fee look worse... if you catch a special you can get a small server and reasonable bandwidth for that price... it would be like the deli association asking your friend to send them $2.5 a year to join their association because that is his monthly rent on his shop. It isn't in line with what the huge majority of webmasters are making.

I don't argue the need for FSC to be fighting this stuff, but if only 10% of webmasters are part of their group they are missing out on more money, more support, and more credibility within the industry.
