Happy Holidays!

I have been a member for 2 months now and I am also a "Friend of George" member... I love this site and would like to know if people agree with some suggestions I have for Hank.

1) I have seen in posts and know for a fact that the US Bill is used heavily in other countries...first I ask Hank to check how many people from other countries log on to the site and are unable to enter the bill they have found. Why not have an option where people can just write in or pick from a drop down menu the country they found the bill in? If that is not possible then have a default zip code for every country example: Ecuador 00001 (a 5 digit number) or even easier South America 00001 Europe 00002 etc... Have an option to click "If you are not in Canada or US click here" Or have a screen come up when people dont enter a zip code or when people enter a wrong zip code. It all depends on how many people from other countries log on. Is there a way of knowing Hank? If they do then maybe you could do this. Something simple doesnt have to measure miles accurately, I am sure we all want to know if our bill is in another country! I would!

2) We all know that the forums search does not work and it will never work, but new members that come in don't know and it looks bad for the site. Why not take the option off? Maybe have it work for the archives only? What do you think?

3) On a previous post Hank you told someone that some kind of mass mailing was in the works for inactive members. Is that still in the works? If those people do not respond lets say in ...90 days their accounts will be deleted? I think thats a good idea for people that came once and entered 1 or 2 bills. delete their accounts if they are inactive and keep the bills in the site. You could do this once a year or so.

5) The spell checker doesnt work..take the dead link off.

4) Thats enough suggestions for a day lol but cmon post more suggestions I am sure Hank loves us more when we suggest? Right Hank?

Thanks again for the great site,

Michael Pelaez
