The way I see it , regardless of Full Accountability , there are SO many of us who enjoy The Cat That if EVERY member sent $5 , and HALF the visitors sent $2 Max would be able to set up what ever was needed !
Personally , for what I have got out of Mudcat Membership I would not object too strongly about an annual membership fee - As long as it wasnt going to be anything like what Governments are paying the bloody banks !
