As a member of many professional organizations, I think it is definitely not out of line to be asked to pay a small nominal rate for the administration of this site. We're talking what, $15? $25 a year? A pizza and beer? I'm frankly surprised that Cynthia has not broached this subject earlier.

My two cents, raise the price for members to $25 a year. Lurkers free.

Professionals and aspiring professionals understand the need for the fees.

It insures the continuance of this professional site...and the last thing I want to see is pop up ads to pay for the site. Free sites are festooned with pop ups. I'm surprised Cynthia has been willing to run this site at her own expense for as long as she has.
