Membership fees for Forum access

Steven, I'm surprised at your insinuation. Usually you're not the kind of person to level something like that, but hey, obviously this is an emotional topic for most of you. As a matter of fact, I gave $180 to public radio in Toledo and Michigan last year, and similar amounts the 15 years before that.

Reading these posts, I'm just not feeling the love. I probably should have just kept my ideas to myself, but I thought my experience would be helpful. How many other people on here have actually done a transition like this before? I followed it up with loads of suggestions and other ideas, if the goals are what Cynthia says they are.

And, true to form, the Forum responds with sniping, snideness, and sarcasm. On a positive note, your attachment may indeed may make it all work out.

Cynthia, you asked if the Forum was worth it - I can't remember the last time I read something very interesting. Oh, wait, it was the conversation between Tim and Marvin, and instead of moderating it, it was quashed with all the arrogance possible. And you *are* still screening members? I thought you'd stopped.

There are loads of nice, talented people on here, but more and more it's petty tyrants and BADDDD paintings.

So, no, I wouldn't dream of paying you. Especially if the message was "Hey guys, I'd like to work less and make more money. Could you spare $40? And could the people doing half the work please do it for free?"

So knock yourselves out. Send me an email in a year and let me know what happened. I did meet lots of other people here who led me to other forums and venues - I'll be over there.
