LOL!  Gary, haven't you ever heard the saying that "any advertising is good advertising"?  A poll
about an SJAA loaner program implicitly informs people that the SJAA *has* a loaner program.  Are

Not at all.  I think there exists a substantial amount of "dual membership" between SJAA and TAC,
due to their proximity.  It is effectively the opposite of your example.
