You underestimate the length of a year. $15 a year is about 3 cents a week or 1.25 a month. surely a tiny amount even for a student. Anyway, welcome, and I think you’ll find that $15 a year is worth it for by far the best MB on the internet. ---

Dude, I’ve been a guest for almost a month and I think I’m going to take the plunge and pay the cash. I’ve gotten some good advice, had a few laughs and I’ve had the shit flamed out of me. It’s a blast! Plus, if you don’t know how to argue, you’ll learn reeeeeeeal quick around here. ---
