Dear Gary, I apologize, I think I have been referring to you at Glenn. In response to your posting, money should not matter. If one member is treated differently than another, just because they paid a fee, then that would be bias censorship....or total crap! Jamie

You must remember that you and I and many others are essentially freeloaders here. We were grandfathered in because we were long time members from when there was no fee. A lot of people now pay to play. So they may get listened to by Jill more than us freeloaders. Just a thought. Gary, I am far from a freeloader on SI. I was posting information of decent quality at a time when posts were scarce. If it were not for myself and many others at that time, SI would have failed and would not have had decent content for which now some are paying.There was a discussion on the original USRX thread about SI paying us for our input. I believe that was overkill but you get the idea. SI is a valuable source of information. The source is its memebers and the programming done so that the information may be easily found. If we remove all the members, what do we have? Glenn
