<P mce_keep="true"> </P>In fairness to the NMRA I do see their point in this. Most clubs are non-profit and while they don't run for profit they still need money coming in to function. If too many people were coming in without paying soon enough the club would be going under since members would start figuring "Well if these people are getting everything for free why should I keep paying?" Then you get what's called the free rider dilemma which happened to a Steven King website years ago. If enough people paid that month it was free for everyone else. The problem is people stopped paying in the hopes of getting in free. So eventually the site went down since not enough people were paying for it.
