Dave,

A question for you.

I was just reviewing my subscriber and user level page and noticed that I have 76,288 days left on my subscription in spite of the fact that I paid for a lifetime subscription.

Now, I know what you're going to tell me. 76,000+ days amounts to some 200 years and though that may seem generous to some I am still of the opinion that nobody has the right to make gross assumptions about how long I intend to live. We live in a world that is changing daily. I may opt for cryogenic freezing or one of the many longevity products that are curently under study. Also, time dilation is a proven fact.

Thus, I don't think it is incumbent upon you and Bob to set a limit on my life expectancy. Afterall, how would you and Bob feel If I did the same for the two of you? I think we'd all agree that it would be tacky and in bad taste. And confidentially speaking, and please don't tell Bob I said this, but I have heard rumors that Bob's life-style compares unfavorably to Jerry Garcia's life-style before...well, you know.

It seems to me a life subscription is...for life!! Or, at least until you guys cough up my death certificate.

Would appreciate if you could update my subscriber and user level page accordingly.

Thanks, best regards, and my best wishes to the both of you for many hundreds of years to come.

Ed S.
