Please go easy on the FSC, we really need them to be well funded and stable.

Please show me where I was bitching about the money? I've never asked for a FREE memebrship in the FSC and even if it was $1 I don't like to feel as if I'm being shookdown. It's as simle as that. And many feel the same way I do.
Now you are asking me to gleefully pay a memebership fee to a organization who motives I find somehwat dubious? That's insane. Now I could be 100% off base, but seeing that is it how I feel would YOU pay a membership fee if you had concerns about them?
There's ZERO guarantee than anyone joining TODAY or later will even have their names on this list before it has to be handed over. I fact I highly doubt it will be.
Also this "deal" does NOT mean you don't have to be compliant.
This deal does NOT mean that in 90 days you can't be investiagated or procescuted by the DOJ.
All this deal did was to buy a few weeks from being investigated. And it also made sure that your name will be given to the DOJ so they have a nice list to go by when they do start investigating. And if you think that by handing this list to a so called "non partial" 3rd party means the DOJ doesn't get the list you are completely ignorant to how this government works and what it will to to get it's way.
At any rate I don't deal in content thus 2257 really doesn't apply to me so I don't see as how a membership really helps me. I DO however have concerns for the "small guys" out there and well the industry as a whole. And often when you do a deal with the devil you get burned. The DOJ has something up it's sleeve and I think the FSC just got fucked over.
