Would I be able? I'm not sure. My finances have improved a little over the last 2 weeks but I still don't think I could commit myself to a monthly $10.

Would I leave? I think that even if I was able to pay, I would leave, partly as I don't like membership subscriptions, partly as there are other free folk music resources that I could make use of and partly as I would rather invest that sort of money in a project of my own.

Re the comments on quality: I can see that charging a fee would discourage trolls - I mean you wouldn't want to keep paying to have your membership yanked or to have multiple personalities!

Overall though, I see quality as a management issue and you can have lousy paid managers and very dedicated volunteers who do a good job.
