I'd love to hear opinions from as many as possible.

I don't think SI offers lifetime memberships any longer. If you go to the sign up part, it is $60 for a semi annual membership. That is a bit steep for the wit and wisdom on the threads of SI IMO. <grin>

The payment of a moderate lifetime fee was worth it to me to get away from the noise of the m.i.s. stocks newsgroups plus SI had already signed up more than a few of my friends.

I guess lurkers will just have to figure out if it is worth it to them. If anyone has a burning desire to say something, just sign up for one of those 14 day free trials and then cancel it until next time you get the urge if the $10/month is too steep.

The only other way I see of allowing the lurkers to have a voice is for someone to moderate and repost messages sent to a cutout mailbox. I use these to eliminate spam. iname.com has free e-mail which you can automatically forward to another mailbox. If it gets corrupted with junk e-mail, you just kill it and get another.

For my part, life it too short to start following various threads on other bulletin boards ala Raging Bull, or Motley Fool. I doubt if I would participate if this thread moved to a "free" site.

PS for lurkers. If you really think that $10/month is too steep, you might consider that within the company threads on SI there are quite a few employees of those companies. If you are really digging down for information that they see within their respective companies, SI is worth every penny.
