I do NOT accept this. I understand that some people may have financial
difficulties (and thus can't afford qep'a', etc). But they can certainly skip
that trip to McDonalds only a few times a YEAR. Less than $1.50 a month (US).

At first this is certainly true. After they get familiar with the basics, they
can start reading the other sections.
They could at least have their ship as a group subscribe and share the HolQeD.
$1.50 a month split between a ship's crew; about 20 cents a month each. Not
bad, even if they are reading only Qov's section.
