With the price increase he is talking about and the downwright lousy performance of this site, , the paying members are subsidizing the non-payers. Maybe you should take a class in price theory.

I don't think MVPs (or the MS folks) should have to pay - you guys do alot for the UT and earn your part then some. But either everyone or no one should pay. If everyone pays, then it should be nominal. The other alternative (one that JVP brought up) is that no one pays while relying on banner income.

Just stating my opinion, John. The last I heard, we can do that here.

You know, all of this is easy to say for someone that doesn't pay.
