Yeah, okay, it’s been a while since I checked back with the boards (life 'n stuff, you know), and now I see there’s going to be a yearly subscription fee. I’m cool with this-- I want to pay, really! I’ve got several dollars worth of loose change in laundry money right in front of me, plus a Mexican 100-peso note I found on the bus but haven’t gotten around to exchanging yet. So I’m set to go on this end.

However, I am yet another of those many, many people who don’t have either a credit card or a Paypal account (at least, I assume there are many, many others who have posted this exact same thread, but I don’t seem to be able to search the forums now so I can’t be sure. I’m guessing that you now have to be a paid charter member in order to search, which gets me into Catch-22 territory).

I’d be happy to mail the dough straight to the Tribune offices if that’s possible, although my suspicion is that this isn’t a realistic option… Could someone please help me out, maybe provide a link to the relevant post that either tells me another way to pay, or else informs me that I’m a horrid loser with a nonexistent credit rating and to please bug off? I’d appreciate closure either way. Thank you.

[This thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=245878) contains numerous offers of Dopers to function as an intermediary for people who don’t have credit cards or PayPal.

I’ve offered too. You can email me at [greenfleurdelis@hotmail.com](mailto:greenfleurdelis@hotmail.com). We’ll work out the details there.
