And there is the reason I no longer am a PUTM. I will not pay for the opportunity to have no voice. JB, good point, and I'm glad you raised it...
As an MVP I don't pay for PUTM membership. Based on this, I certainly will not pay for PUTM membership if I have to.
In the past I have encouraged non-PUTM members to purchase PUTM membership - I will do so no more.
So the entire "hit in the wallet" can work both ways. So Michel (whom I am copying on this reply), the next time you're evaluating (and speaking about) the ledger, keep that in mind.
