<VV> credit cards and CORSA

[tim mahler]

Board Member Scott Morehead has already made that suggestion, or at least 
something similar, 6 months ago.  Issues include all the paperwork needed --  
time IS money too.   plus having all the CC logos plastered on the web site 
(at least that is how i read the docs).   Is something to talk about, but 
there is no free lunch,  only gimmicks that look free.   <check the interest 
rates you pay for using that plastic,  ouch>.

Oh,   To really get the boards attentionsl,  I suggest using an OLD idea and 
emailing the board directly - corsabod at corvair.org  and not relying on them 
to find it in all the noise of a general forum.  To me, VV, CC, et al, are 
greaet for tech, once all the water cooler talk is thrown out.  Some days, 
the water cooler chat exceeds the ability to filter the grumbling from the 
really good ideas.
