Robbie,  What have you got to lose by trying?  Perhaps members of MMD
would rather support MMD than eBay.  Besides, think of the revenue that
will be generated by commissions.  Maybe even a monthly MMD with only
technical articles and pictures.  Its a win, win situation.  Readers
are doing it now anyway, except there are no fees.  I don't know how
many people get this e-mail everyday, but its obvious its going to the
serious hobbyists.
