I bought a membership for a friend because he couldn't afford it. He's 17,
lives at home, doesn't have a job because he is in school, loves the
language but his parents were both recently unemployed. Remember, it's not
1.50 a month, it's $15 in one go. For some of the people I know, that $15
means they won't starve that week. Many of us are well off enough to
afford these things, but I have heard from many Fans who can't afford to
buy TKD, let along pay out for HolQeD.. :(

Yes, but thats a step that some people have a hard time getting over. The
first time I joined this list, way back in '93, I was scared out of my
yopwaH by the conversations going on. When you lack the confidence you
sometimes need a push.

Hehe, my ship can't even split a pizza let alone a HolQeD ;)
