I've looked in the member list for this forum just now, and, if the software doesn't lie, there are 161 people who have signed up as forum users in 2011.
This class is very generous in not tying forum membership to being a DSA member, but that's even more reason to consider joining class if you haven't.
161 new members would give a big lift to the DSA membership, but even a fraction of this would be welcome.
I'm not an officer of the association, just a member, and not even a long-term member at that. But I joined -- mainly in order to demonstrate my support for this forum.
I invite all of those who've who discovered and joined this forum recently, to do likewise - especially those of you who got good information, great advice and, dare I say it, excellent "service" here. You know who you are.
Now would be a good time to get your membership application in for 2012: Membership Application Form
I invite anyone who feels like it to make a "pledge" here in a reply, or to identify themselves as continuing DSA member. Or to discuss the topic pro's and con's of DSA membership.
