Rande...
From today's postings on the Beta Site Launch thread, (well before your post about a "free" site):

...Meanwhile, there is a rumor circulating that in the future, access to SI will be free (which would mean, of course, that there would be no category of "paying member" with "special privileges"). Could you please set the record straight on this one?

Gladly. As mentioned above, the advertising policy details can be found on a page that we've created for this purpose. Furthermore, we have no intention of making posting on the SI message boards free to the general public. Other parts of the new SI are free, i.e. quotes, news, portfolio tracker, etc. And, of course, you can "lurk" for free. So, perhaps that is how the rumor started..

SI has been "free" for people to come onto it and do things, except posting, for quite some time, Rande.
Best wishes,
Tom
