[NSRCA-discussion] Fw: Buyers Guide

[seefo at san.rr.com]

Sometimes I think it's better to have a printed guide you can easily 
reference. Even online stuff can be a pain.. 

Perhaps we could talk the NSRCA into printing a new buyer's guide as a 
purchased thing.. like we all pay an extra $10 or something. I'd even 
pay up front for it. The buyer's guide issue was my favorite for a 
long time.
