" It would be unfair to base grandfathering on quantity of posts and it is impracticable to judge the quality of over 4 million messages. The only reasonable thing to do is to honor the promise of lifetime membership."

I have to agree with you, while I also agree with the concept that posters are providing the content which draws the eyeballs to this site, the lifetime membership promise wasn't made with any strings attached.

It would be nice to find a way to encourage readers to become posters as well, even those who feel they can't provide substance can often provide thought provoking questions. I have once or twice, posted what I thought was a simple question or comment, only to see the resulting discussion take off in a direction which I didn't anticipate, but seemed to provide value to someone.

Even just providing a link to an interesting site or article is a contribution.
