Writing code for features is -- writing code for features. Whether it's in C+ or asp or java or whatever, someone's gotta design, write code and debug it, so the difference between SI and a word processor is not as relevant as you might think.

"think for a minute about why SI is different than a word processing program hint: the value of SI is mainly the content provided by the Users"

re: "Without the Grandfathers, there would be no SI today." And you've gotten a free site for seven+ years and will continue to, in perpetuity -- Premium-Plus features or not. So again, that point is irrelevant.

re: "All I am requesting is what I was promised when I joined.." You and I joined about the same time. To continue getting free upgrades and extensive new features for life was never promised. Nor should a reasonable person expect it.

The difference between a frugal spender and miserly tightwad is that, after you take away all of their money and possessions from both of them, the frugal spender still has a positive net worth.

BTW, I promised Bob I'd subscribe after Adv. Search was done. It's now done. He'll have my cheque next week. A little incentive helps a software developer to .... develop software. Imagine that.
