Hey Guys,

Have you seen what Techdirt is doing? http://www.techdirt.com/rtb.php
They have a sliding scale of return on investment, spanning prices both cheaper than your suggested contribution and a lot more expensive. Maybe you could do something similar - e.g. Maybe a higher contribution gets a shout out on the podcast. Maybe a higher contribution would get a chance to decide on a movie for you to review on the show. Maybe an even higher contribution would buy a chance to participate on the podcast. These are some of the scarce resources you have to bargain with. I'm sure you can think of more better ones.

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 any 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.
