[Groop] Re: Groop Membership cards

Gary,
   Any details you decide on are fine with me. I would like my card to be 
number 0013 if possible -- if not, then 1467.

Paypal: there are two types of paypal account, personal and business. If 
you have a personal account they don't take a fee, but you are limited in 
how many dollars you can transact in a month. If you have a business 
account, they charge a percent of every transaction. You can change your 
personal account to a business, but I don't think you can change a business 
account back to a personal. It is ok with paypal for you to have two 
accounts, one for personal use and one for business (but they don't like 
you to have more than that).

Given all that, you want me to paypal you the $7 or mail you a check?

Also unfortunately I have no idea when I joined the groop. It seems like 
forever tho. Is there any way to check the archives or something to see the 
earliest date I posted anything?
