In light of boulevards of broken dreams and worthless receipts, is it feasible or warranted for this site to provide an area where actors can post a jpeg photo and a three line biog, with contact details?

Hi Norma.

The reason I arranged the poll this way was because it had been made clear that there would be expenses involved...therefore, a YES vote is a vote that accepts that it'll need to be paid for.
But to get a better idea of why someone would vote NO, I included two different answers so we could see if price was the objection, or whether people thought it was a bad idea regardless of price.

(I believe I actually voted "not if I have to pay"...fully understanding that I WOULD probably have to pay: my vote doesn't mean I expect to get something for nothing; it indicates that I feel the expense involved will probably outweigh the benefit I'd expect to get.)

There may be others who feel it would be of more service to them; and those who are willing to pay for it. We are still yet to discover enough end users...what do we expect will be the practical result of putting these biogs up on a page?

A false conclusion: I hate it as an unfilled can!
