That seems fair.

L... Marc thanks for the Populist thing this morning I'm going to respond to that tomorrow but I'm not with you on this present past penalty thing. This is the least logical thing i ever heard you say if not the only non logical thing I've ever heard you say. You're usually pretty logical! A company starts discounting a product this is a penalty the existing people who own this product? Or service? I think most people know when the buy something at some point in the future it's going to go on sale. I guess people who obsess on that never buy anything or join anything. Like people who buy Computer stuff who know next year it will cost half as much and do twice as much. The best time to buy is never now. But I once bought a black leather coat from Nordstrom in December for 200 bucks when it went on sale for 100 bucks in January they hand me the 100 bucks difference in unnumbered twenty dollar bills I was just there to by a tie clip! I took my wife out to see Superman and for diner. How many bad things have i got to say about Nordstrom? I think Zero. So this type thing can happen if the company can afford it. If it's flush with Holiday money. I can't see a club paying off its entire membership half of what they paid to stay that year just because at some point they are giving some guys a discount. (Us) LHSA is a business. And they are running it so it can stay afloat. They (we) need more members and a wider variety of members as in younger people and female people. And get away from that older people and male people image it's been stuck with all these years! We need young Women!!!! I say charge them five bucks and give them a free roll of slide film!
