Interesting thread, posts and comments. It's very informative to see/hear others opinions regarding "membership". While being a member of a number of forums, I've only been a supporting member one time. The forum offered a email address/account with membership and that was/is something I can use. As a sys admin I have a number of email accounts/addresses, but it's nice to have one that is not business related or one of the "free" ones that you can't use to join a forum (sort of catch-22). Unfortunately I let that membership expire and never go back to the forum, because of the ruling class members (to be blunt). Oddly enough it wasn't the "supporting members" actually, but the "guru members" and the "pack mentality" of the primary group (groupies) of more active members. It's the "elitist", but it wasn't related to supporting versus non-supporting. IMHO that's the biggest danger for this forum, not supporting memberships.. Ron
