>There is a need for free access to UT. I'd love to see the capabilities for free access scaled back considerably, perhaps daily time limits, or some other restriction. Doing this, we could then have an intermediate UT membership, at maybe $35-50/year, giving people what is now here for free. This helps distribute the burden of paying the costs of operating the UT (I'm not in a position to know the real expenses, but I assume Michel is honest and honorable, and when he says he needs to raise the PUTM rate, there's a good reason for it.)

>Hopefully, Michel can figure out a stratified membership plan to simply this.

Well said, and definitely the best idea that's come up yet, maybe in conjunction with the free "trial period"...
