But I buy denise/mark's reason why they aren't offering that.
The problem with the permanent accounts was this: We stopped mattering to the people making the decisions. We'd already bought our accounts and were thus no longer an income stream for them. Then when it was time to make decisions about the way the site would be run, they stopped caring about us, and since we were paid for life, we could no longer "vote with our wallet."
It *IS* more inconvenient to have to keep paying for a service, but.. for them, and for you, it's a yearly/six month VOTE, basically.. is this site good enough to continue to support, or would I rather just spend my money elsewhere?
So I can see it your way, because it is more convenient to do it once and never worry otherwise, but I see why they want to do it this way as well...
