But to say "I have info, email my and if you are worthy I'll send it to 
you" rubs a lot of people the wrong way.

This is why just over a year ago I started a Yahoo group 
(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MilAirCommsChat/).  In a year we have over 
670 members, get about 270 messages per month and in the year have had no 
flames, flame wars and everyone has been helping each other.   And we've 
been getting as many logs as this group (sometimes more).

But the point is that the purpose of an internet group is for everyone to 
exchange info and/or learn.  But to say you'll only give 'contributors' 
info who is a newbie ever to learn anything?  Great way to kill a hobby 
cause as the old timers die all info will die with "the click".
