Well, for my 100th post, I will make it a controversial one.
I first understand why you have standards for certain activities here.
I know you all have been newbies at one time.
Now my point of view and that's all it is:
Some of us don't live in big cities, don't have B&M 2 hours close, or even close friends that enjoy our hobby of the smoke. These activities are our only interaction with the only BOTLs that we have.
I truely like this board because its a more personal and close knit community. Someone here gave me the chance to participate in a pass, and how exciting it is to be part of it.
The downside of such a small board, is that there is not alot of new postings, passes, or trades. These such things are my HERF.
If you decide not to let us newbies participate, would it be ok to let us have a newbie 08ss.
I would be glad to run it, with the same rules. It would be kind of neat to compare the newbies to the fogs!!

Edited to add changes in the newbie 08ss
We could have all the members post hobbies, fav sport team, and other ideas, so that we could get to know each other and give ideas.
Have the delivery date moved up to compensate for any problems.
Have a insurance gift, donated smokes and such to participate, that way in one does get "lost" or we have a dead beat.
I would really like to do this. I think there are some newbies here that are pretty outstanding people and could be a pre-qulifier to play with the big dogs next year, without being "leftout".
