<title>Message from Dick</title>
<description><![CDATA[Noonsite<br/>  Hi all,<br/>  It has been a few years since we have been to a new country, but over the last 20+ years, Alchemy has taken us to 55 countries and Noonsite has been one of the research sources that has enabled our entry to these nations to go smoothly.<br/>  Noonsite has also felt like a resource that fits with the cruising community I like to be part of: one where is everybody sharing information and helping each other.<br/>  So, a couple of thoughts:<br/>  I was, at first, a little disappointed that Noonsite appeared to be turning itself into a commercial entity (it sounds now, like it always had a commercial aspect and I was unaware).<br/>  I guess I am also not sure that I am comfortable with what looks like, to me, essentially an advertisement being copied and pasted (and yes, I know, it was an “announcement”) and put in the OCC Forum (or any advertisement being baldly posted on the Forum for that matter). Best would be a member using this new fee-demanding aspect of Noonsite and giving a field report of the accuracy of this “formalities wallet”, whether it was helpful and whether it was considered, by the member, to be worth the money. Next best might be a member saying why he/she thought this might be a worthwhile service to consider and why. <br/>  I would also be curious/concerned that this shift to a commercial emphasis/formality’s wallet might “water down” the freely available information to boost the appeal of their commercial interests: resulting in important formality information now being behind a pay-wall.<br/>  My best, Dick Stevenson, s/v Alchemy<b>George.Curtis</b> wrote:<br/><blockquote><table><tr><td><table><tr><td>Announcement from Noonsite: <br/>Planning your next port of call?
