The ads don't bother me, because I never see them. My browser filters 
out all that stuff. But I don't use those sites as often, because email 
is so much easier. I really like getting the messages in my Inbox 
(automatically sorted to the correct folder), and replying by email. So 
I also like this NAFEX list better.

I must say that the membership benefits don't matter much to me. I just 
want to support the organization. This list has been very nice, the 
people have been very friendly and helpful, and I just like to support 
groups like that. Admittedly, there are a LOT of good groups out there, 
so there's plenty of competition. And I'm just a newbie at 
fruit-growing. So it's not surprising that we all have different points 
of view, and different reasons for supporting NAFEX.
