Gee, we've got over 200 members now.  Pretty soon the nations of the world will have to sit up and take notice of us! :)

Trouble is, if we alert the media and call a press conference to notify the citizens of the Earth that we have arrived, one of two things would happen:

1.  Nobody would come to the press conference.

or

2.  Everybody would come to the press conference to see what kind of people still like spinning rotary dials, and overnight old phone prices would skyrocket into the stratosphere, putting us all out of the collecting business.

"No, GTE!"

I couldn't help that.  Only us old farts would remember that ad.

This is a nice place.  Kind of like a second home.

There are also a ton of unregistered guests that seem to view a lot of the content, so maybe they're just waiting for the right inspiration to join.

I remember it.  Now if you'll excuse me there's a window I need to throw myself out of. :-[

McHeath, most people I know think I'm eccentric for using rotary phones, so I think the second of your theories is the correct one.

Well, in preperation for option 2, we should pool together to buy up as many phones as we can and sell off what we don't want for ouselves at the new inflated rates!
