Re: [AGA SC] Credit Cards

[Erik Olson <erik@thekrib.com>]

Well, that's why I'm asking where these charges are coming from.  There's 
no excuse for US charges at all.  But back in the day it was somewhat of a 
big deal for some foreign countries.  If it still is, so be it.  But if 
it's essentially from people who could pay by paypal or check, then I say 
NUKE it.  It'll add more space on our membership page on the site too.
