Nearly 6 years here, and I've been a Charter Member since a few months in. I think I've sold on here one time, but I'd not chosen to be a member just to sell.
I chose to be a Charter Member because I love this forum, and will always be a CM as long as I'm alive!
Last I looked, $20 a year? You gotta be kidding me! If you don't get $20 worth of education, entertainment, and valued friends - there's something wrong somewhere....
