Speaking of ARDA, since you seem to know a little about everything, have they released the study they were doing on the economic impact of timesharing?

Seems like ARDA is always working on a study! You can find great information in their publications and releases, but you may have to spend a little time looking for what specifically interests you.

You can find all the ARDA releases at the following link:

ARDA | Press Room

I think the study you are referring to is this one:

ARDA | Economic Impact

Thanks, but that one is four years old.

I'm looking for the new one, the one listed on the top here, the one that says it would be available in January, 2009:

Only since January.

They'll probably charge to download the study anyway.

Yeah, that's the one, and I have brought that to ARDA's attention before.

People in the TS industry are clueless and they wonder why regular people are turned off by them.

Here I am wanting to promote TS in my local area, to show people on the Branson forum, which is anti-TS, the economic impact they have.

ARDA wants me to fork over $350 to do their job for them.

Buttholes. (I save that for those who really deserve it.)

Makes me want to go into an incoherent rant.

Here's a peek:
