Ok, this is just a thought. This is not a recommendation or what I think 
should happen. This is just something to discuss.

Some people are not members because the price is to high for them. So how 
about lowering the price? Say to $25. This makes it easier for those among 
us who have a small cash flow problem to join. Yes we loose $10 on the first 
membership, but that makes it easier for another person to join. Instead of 
$35 we have $50, and instead of one member we have two. And if the other 
memberships are not lowered, it will be more inviting to join at the 
sustaining level instead of the lower ones.

However, if we raise the price of membership, those of us we are borderline 
will be forced to drop our memberships. So the price will have to be raised 
again to compensate. And we will loose more. And so on and so on. And then 
only the well to do will have memberships. And the rest of us will be 
playing without membership. That wouldn't be good.

So, the idea I'm proposing for discussion is lower membership prices. What 
do you all think about it? Remember, this is just an idea for discussion. 
Nothing more.
