Thanks to all for the replies . Guess, there are some folks like me who are behind the ball and not yet uptodate with the latest rules !! But, very thankful for the amendment !
Having said that , I still feel that a lot of providers still do not know about this. More than half the provider ads I have seen have no mention of the rates. It would be good if all the providers post their rates in their ads. that way, the hobbyists dont have to search further.
Because ,though unfortunate , for a lot of the guys - if their is limited info listed in the ads , they will just move on to he next one.
