She's looking for your help, as are we.
The title of this article is a bit of a joke. We are not out on the street with
our Tin Cup asking looking for a handout. We are providing a service in return
for your support. It is a service that we hope you are willing to pay for. Pay
for after the fact, but pay for none the less.
You might feel that a legitimate business asks for the money up front and
doesn't deliver the service until it is paid for up front. Unfortunately that's
not how things are working out in the real world. We're not the only one's who
have to ask for your support and still provide the service to those who are free
riders.
So we are for real. We are taking responsibility for our actions. We are not
beggars on the street. Ours is a legitimate business model adopted by public
radio, the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times. We can only hope that our
readers find enough value in our service to continue to support it.
Thanks to all of you who have done so.
We have a boat load of premiums to encourage you to support Scare and I as we
keep the Oz Report delivering the latest hang gliding news. See all the premiums
available to you here:
http://ozreport.com/premiums.php. Given that we are providing all these
premiums, it would be great if subscribers went a little bit beyond the minimum
$20 donation/subscription, as many of you have, and we are very grateful for
that.
At the end of March I'll set up a random number generator to choose who get the
premiums from the list of 2012 Oz Report subscribers. There will be an order to
that list and those subscribers chosen will get to send in an ordered list of
their preferred premiums and they will be awarded based on the order of
subscribers chosen to receive premiums.
If you are sending in a check do it quickly so that I will have it in time to
put you on the list to possibly receive a premium.
Please, help us out. Support something that you find useful so that it can
continue to be there for you.
You can send $20 or $30 or more for a yearly subscription/donation. To pay for
your subscription with your credit card or PayPal account:

Our featured premium:
a Remora Rack
From Mike Barber at

Mike just built this one and he didn't want to offer it until he had a new one
in inventory. He had a back log of orders that he had to fulfill including three
from Warren
Windsports.
