" I can see the point that this could create some perception issues with people who don't bother to look beyond the ads. I think that's a small concern, but I'll agree it's a concern. "
Here's my biggest issue with the whole thing. We ( as a hobby) are under the microscope as far as the feds go. The more we confuse them ( which is easily done now-days) with a stance other than we're "just a bunch of hobbyists " the worst off we'll be. Why risk it?
Happy New Years
