1 - I can put up with the banner ads, if that is what it will take.2 - Mousethief, it may be a common sort of joke where you come from, but where I was brought up, calling someone a nincompoop, is likely to get a set of knuckles in the face.
3 - I wouldn't mind sending in $10 a month. However, many of us are not in the states. To send a sum like that to the states, it requires either a bank or postal money order or certified cheque. This will add about another $5.00 to the cost, besides exchange. In Canadian sums, $10USx1.7+$5.00Cdn = $22.00 each month. Would quarterly be acceptable to reduce that $5.00 fixed cost?
