Hi everyone,

Let's try something. You now must log in before being able to view any posts except for the "News from the Forum Admin" category. There are some people who surf the Forum and are not members, and are viewing the posts. So, before it becomes an issue, let's see if this is not too much of an inconvenience for all.

So you know, a GUEST cannot post. They must be a registered member to post, and now you must log in to view. If there is some negative feedback, we'll revisit this policy.

Thanks.

Admin

I am a newbie in several senses, I am new to this forum, I am also new to the GPAA, I joined about 3 months ago, I am also new to prospecting and so I joined this forum to read and learn.

I have been in the computer business for many years. With the spammers today trying to destroy the usefulness of email and currently succeeding, I think anything to reduce that kind of problem here is a necessary thing. As forum registrations go this one is quick and easy to do.

Perhaps not the desired state of affairs but relatively painless.

Thanks for listening.

OK, I understand a bit better. I would prefer that info didn't end up on a search engine also.

Doesn't cost anything to join and it is a worthwhile effort. I think it is a good move.
Good luck, dig deep and look close.   Bob

I too am for the new format, In some of the businesses I've worked with mining doesn't mean digging in the ground for minerals, it means surfing the net (forums are a biggie) for your personal data to be then sold to a myriad of companies to use in order to sell you something. Kudo's to the administrator to look out for our best interests. Keep up the good work--

Have you tried AOL or Yahoo, can not get into the clubs unless you register.  LOL  I don't intend to get on theirs, because I want nothing to do with them.
