Hi guys

I am contemplating upgrading my free subscription but I am completely confused as to what it gets me.

On your "Subscriptions and User Levels" page, I have 3 available subscriber options -- 20, 21, 22 -- and one lifetime option -- 23 -- available to me.

But then I go to your "Silicon Investor Features" page and get completely confused. (You'll have to excuse me, but in one of my other lives I am a computer programmer, so am accustomed to trying to clearly parse out statements.)

The "Free" column is clear enough.

Then I get to the "GF/Life" column, about which you say "GF/Life are Grandfathered and Lifetime Members". Do you mean this column applies:
1) only to subscribers that are both grandfathered AND Lifetime, or:
2) to Grandfathered subscribers AND to Litetime subscribers, in which case the "and" should probably be an "or". (Another way to express this unambiguously is to add a "to" after the "and".)

Then I get to "Premium", which you describe as "Premium are Recurring Subscribers and GF/Life with Recurring Premium-Plus Subscription". Here you've completely lost me. I won't go through describing the multiple possible meanings, but I count at least six.

But in any case I have no idea what a Recurring Subscription is. Is it different from the 3 subscription options available to me described earlier? Does this mean the first time I get a subscription I get nothing since I am not a Recurring Subscriber. By definition you can't be recurring the first time you do something!

There are also other things I can't figure out, but let's start with these, and maybe the rest of the answers will come out in the wash.
