> So far as I am aware, the question has never been asked before. We’ve always assumed that “Charter Membership” meant the title, the lower fee, and the rights and privileges thereunto pertaining. We (mods and admins) have no power over the fees &c. We can do a title change. We will start discussion amongst the mods over whether we’d want to.

That would be a really nice touch. As others have said, it’s not the price (and what other rights ans privs were there? Did I miss out on the sanctioned orgies?), it’s the title. I just want the title back.
