All well and good Dave, but how do we, in a cashless group, manage to find the sheckles to pay for a seat at that table? And how much is that seat, one time or annual dues? Heck of a good bunch questions, that. FWIW, I once enquired about a seat at the USB table. But $25k a year was not in my budget.
