Dear Cynthia, et al.;
Although money is an issue with me, more so than I wish it were, I would still approach this matter much as Chris has. Because the forum is, overall, a good and valuable one for me I would be willing (able) to pay a modest annual fee for participation (both reading and writing). I haven't posted as often as I would have liked to over the years, but I have certainly benefitted numerous times from reading. Plus, I have certainly made some fine e-quaintances here; friends, really. (In fact, I hope to meet many of you at this year's Portrait Society of America conference). I also understand the mountain of work that it takes to keep such a forum going, as well as the upkeep of technology and hardware, etc.. So, yes, a small annual fee is in order.
All best.
Juan
