>Are you fed up with putting money in Michel Fournier's pocket????

Not at all. He could be making a billion dollars per year, as long as I get value for my money and the VFP support continues to be the best available.

>Personally, If I ran this place, I would charge everybody $5.00 a month for access. There would be a substantial discount for folks that paid for 12 months in advance. Any and all profits would be dumped back into forum, and as always, the books would be open. MS MVP's of course, would get free access. Also, free access would be provided for folks with special circumstances.... Between that and the advertising, there is little question this place would be in much better shape... At the very least, you would not deal with the BS rules.

I think you should do this to test the business model.
