Well, I thought it was pretty clear that anyone that joins, isn't quite right in the head to start off with.
Otherwise, this is about getting together those people that want to get into it.
Bill left a big void when he left for Swiftech. We've complained about many, many block reviews all over the web.
I think that we can try to put something together that's going to help fill the void.
I'd rather leave the financial aspect up to each member, because I know that getting any kind of "membership" or "support" fee is just a recipe for trouble. This whole effort is strictly voluntary, and given the unreasonable cost of setting up a semi-accurate test bench on one's own, this Alliance really isn't going to require a heck of a lot more, for what it's going to provide, IMO.
myv65: I'm going to use your comments, in our discussions. BTW, you're welcome to join, even if it's just for an occasional contribution! (just pm or e-mail me an e-mail address)
