Jeff,
>>My problem is with those who can, but don't - the Takers, DeadBeats, FreeLoaders or whatever you want to call them.
I'd prefer to call them the people who are accessing a limited, but useful service according to the rules set up by the owner of the service. Michel did not say "you can use this service free only if you cannot afford the membership".
Continuing with the name-calling and insults to people's integrity (deadbeats, freeloaders) is not likely to produce anything good. I think we all pretty much know each others' opinions now, so how about just taking it up with Michel privately from here on. It is HIS decision.
