Good question Tom - we'll talk about it on this week's show :)

I'll leave it to the folks in charge, but I personally don't care for the "pay to play" idea. I think all commenting should be free (without Stanley, we'd miss out on the debates!).

I'm kind of like you, Stanley, so what I opted to do was figure I could not eat Big Macs for a few weeks in exchange for TFT goodness, and I did a 'one time payment', because think about what you might spend in a week, or a month, eating out for lunch, Starbucks, etc. Healthier for me, and when Jett and Gareth get into it, my rising blood pressure won't be as deadly without my horrible diet piled on top of it! (though God forbid my checking acct ever got down to $2.99...not that it hasn't happened. I'm the guy who forced Domino's pizza to make you write your driver's license number on your checks).

Either way, I'm glad to hear others are stepping up in support of these guys.

Excellent question SR - PayPal's website does not have the best user interface and it can take forever to find out how to do something. Anyhew, any subscriber to TFT can cancel and at time - here's how:

Canceling a subscription cancels all future scheduled payments of that subscription. A subscription can be canceled up to the day of the next scheduled payment.

1. Log in to your PayPal account.
2. Click the My Account tab.
3. Click the History subtab.
4. Click More filters, select Subscriptions and agreements, and then click Subscriptions.
5. Change the date back to the year the subscription was created, and then click Show.
6. Click Details next to the subscription.
7. Click Cancel Subscription.

Paying for things monthly doesn't really suit my erratic income. I never do it when I can help it. But I'll do it this one... just tell me there's a quick & easy way (and how?) to cancel the payments if and when I need to in a hurry.
...Always leave the back door open when you find yourself in a stranger's kitchen I say!
Or something like that.

I'm probably shooting myself, but how about if members only were able to leave comments? That way I could keep my nose out of every opinion expressed around here -or else pay for the privilege. It'd be interesting to me to see if I could bear to "not comment" on something I might feel strongly about or if it would make me put my money where my mouth is.
Either way you win! ;)

(...Of course I'd expect a cup of tea and an ironed newspaper now & again if I was a paying member.)

Hey, I'm a member of something. Keep up the great work - I have kids so you're basically going to the movies for me.

It sucks to ask for money ... but three bucks per month is a fair price, and TFT is the only podcast I've found that's worth paying for. Count me in.

Please, keep talking.
