It's hard to believe that people would go to a lot of trouble for only C$25,
but about a year ago I sent a year's dues into the Canadian BBQ Smokers
Association. After about two months the cheque was cashed, but despite
sending numerous emails, I never got so much as a how do you do. If you're
thinking of joining, don't. If you're involved in it, what gives?

Looks like the guy is an hour down the road from me. Same guy who
owns the domain pretty much takes up the contact page. A phone call
might get some results, if not you can contact the Ontario Ombudsman's
office. If the web site is any indication, I don't think that they
are active. Quite sly if he is still cashing cheques (yes, that's the
way we spell "checks" up here).

HTH,

That link doesn't work for me.

I use the local version of Sam Spade when on Windows:

But I still prefer the Unix nslookup and whois commands.

The only Class One sanctioned competition in Canada is in Calgary in
the Fall unless something new has arisen somewhere else.
