It isn't a one way street at all...this is a public forum....vs a club....I don't know why this is so difficult to understand....you are here free. A club costs you money to join, and like all clubs, there are club functions, gtg, etc....organized, club officers, BOD....and there is a list of all the things you get in return on the site....join if you are interested, if not, don't. It doesn't affect the free forum site in any way, shape or form....I am a member of both, as are many others...clubs aren't for everyone...and I respect that, but that isn't a one way street either...many CICCI members have been attacked here for no reason, other than asking people to join...soliciting...I am not for soliciting on this forum....I am for members to solicite those friends they might think are interested in a club environment.
