You wont have to pay to look around and read posts, only to post. If what you find is not interesting enough to warrent $1, then perhaps you are one of the posters we will loose as a result of the $1 fee.

We are looking to keep high quality standards and get rid of the riff raff which is becmoming ONCE AGAIN not nice.

As far as the concern about using a credit card over an unsercured internet connection, please assume we are not iddiots. If this were to be done, I am sure that Randy et all would have it as kosher and seemless as possible.

Seems so far everyone who is against this idea is against it for technology problems that are not factual or correct.

The real question is, if you can read for free, would a new person join if they had to pay $1. I think they would, after reading a few threads, they would see what a great place it was (after we rooted out a few bad people) and the $1 would not be a hinderance.
