The $79 is the least of the issues. I have no problem paying that if I actually get something of value for it. I have yet to hear anyone say that by upgrading they have received more work by being in the "premium" listings. That's the only thing that really makes a difference, in my mind. Discount on supplies? I don't need supplies often enough for it to really matter. Use the fax feature? Who needs faxing anymore? Bottom line...this website basically is what it is....valuable for free members as well as those who choose to pay for premium memberships. But in my mind, paying for a premium membership is nothing more than a donation in most cases. I guess you can make a case for paying just to keep the site going, but why don't they just say that? The money obviously isn't used for any upgrades.
