Stay out of NZ you poacher! The fact that I worked in Oz for 5 years is irrelevant.
If money is not a tradeable commodity, then maybe time is. Perhaps some of our lesser paid members could stand in for Paul while he gets out on the street corner to make some money. I am prepared to chip in for his fishnets, stillettos, halter top etc provided he sends a photo. The revenue thus earned could be used to pay for the site.
Cheers

Hi Tushar,
I have worked from Sri Lanka through the far east to New Zealand. I have met
some very talented engineers and have learnt a great deal from people who
are
paid a small percentage of what I am paid. They dont have to pay what I do
to
live here, I know, but I think as a community we engineers can show the rest
of
the world that we can share.

Hi Geoff,<BR>
<BR>
You are absolutely right. $ 25 may be a small amount in western
contries,<BR>
but if you think of asian contries like India, and our domestic exchange<BR>
rates, its comes out to be a big amount and all most unaffordable for
most<BR>
of the piping engineers. In India, there are so many young and talented<BR>
engineers, but you will not find them to be members of Instititions
and<BR>
bodies like ASME. The reason is obvious, we simply cannot afford their<BR>
heavy membership charges. The cost of a good piping handbook published<BR>
there may be around a big portion of take home salary of an piping
engineer<BR>
here.<BR>

Some of the magazines and Institutions found that fees in the western
world<BR>
became astronomic in the developing world. Places such as Asian
countries<BR>
and<BR>
Russia where income is out of kilter with the relative exchange rates
are<BR>
examples. If foreign companies are operating in those areas perhaps they<BR>
can<BR>
sponsor a number of individuals? This leads to two types of membership<BR>
corporate and individual? Its beginning to sound like an ASME sort of
set<BR>
up?<BR>
<BR>
Another approach may be that individuals sponsor a student? Act as a
mentor<BR>
etc? This would have to work on trust to a large extent.<BR>
