I, too, am opposed to charging to post. I think it would effectively close the door to new membership. I didn't log on to the Mudcat to read threads. I had a question, I wanted an answer, and I could easily post. So post I did.

I'm not a rich guy either, but I can be generous where my heart is concerned. I could commit $100 per year to this project. That makes two of us, only need 98 more to make this happen.

I think the hits on the Mudcat are some astronomical number when I asked before. I'll see if I can find a reference. As for members, just go the e-mail list. It is quite large. I don't know how many members stay current, though. I suspect that list includes anyone who ever applied.
