One and the same.

And, yes, I feel that lifetime subscriptions is(was?) the Achilles Heel of the SI business model.

Paradoxically, I'm offering lifetime subscriptions, but I won't be offering them forever. The price goes up at the end of March, and shortly after that I'll be announcing the cut-off date beyond which we won't sell lifetime subscriptions anymore.

I think lifetime subscriptions are fine, up to a point. It takes a certain level of critical mass to be able to get people to subscribe at all, but there's also another level beyond which I feel it is self-destructive to continue to offer lifetime memberships.

I have a date planned, but it's subject to change depending on the growth rate of the site.
