I was looking at when my subscription expired and I notice that my start date was 3/30/04 and my expiration date is 4/30/08. Since I’m a charter member I know I’ve been current since we went to subscriptions. So since we went paid, we’ve been given a month of free service.

I was wondering how many outages we’ve had, and how many days have been added for each one?

You were one of the “Early Adopters” – looks like you signed up maybe on the very first day subscriptions opened up.

The original cutoff date for Charter Member subscription was April 26. So over the last three years and change we’ve extended subscriptions by 4 days.
