I agree.  We're being sidetracked from what is really important and 
that's developing
a tangible infrastructure that will be successful for all those in the 
hcoop and future
membership.  This tangent is better left for after our infrastructure is 
in place.

Absolutely.  Also, I believe we're not 100% certain how much the new 
infrastructure
will cost us, so it might be that adding an additional green "tax" might 
be detrimental
to certain members.  I actually like my nickels, dimes and quarters for 
laundry, socially
required tips, and scantrons.

best,
Ryan
