Re: STC is broken?

["John Posada" <jposada99 -at- gmail -dot- com>]

As President of the NY Metro chapter, I have conversations with my members
on why some don't come to meetings. None have ever said it is too expensive.

Reasons are:

Conflict with work
Commute time to get to meeting from work or frolm meeting to home
Cannot get a mass transit connection (we cover NY and northern NJ...one you
drive and one you mass-transit)
Takes away frrom family time
Subject doesn't interest me (however, on these, I'll eventualy get them to a
meeting)

Price is never a reason.
