>All UT memberships should be FREE, and with that in mind, all funding is done through Advertisements.

That might work, but I honestly perfer the current situation, its just a preference. As for as the Increase? I don't think the reasoning should have been displayed at all, but I don't mind the increase, its still cheap compared to any Microsoft support services.

>One thing that I did not like is the whole idea of selling a CD with content the WE put up here..... That was total bull shit...

I don't think so. For BUTM who would rather pay for a CD of info instead paying to search for info it makes sense. For you and I? No, because we already pay for the later.

But there must be a Free membership, if its limited features or free-for-all it doesn't matter. I think that's what makes the UT special. Just an opinion.
