>Never in my life have I seen so many short-sighted, venomous and spiteful posts directed at the UT user community as I have with the threads on the issue of PUTM vs free membership. Might I suggest something to all of you PUTM's who have a problem with all of us free members, get a reality check.

>Take away the option to be here for free, and you will loose many valuable contributors. Keep up the hostility and many will leave as well (in addition to those who have already stated they would leave). So why don't we all try to be the professionals we are supposed to be and agree we have different views and let this whole thing die before it poisons us from the inside.
