For those who just can't bear to spend $100 "all at once" ... I have created a "low hurdle" option, by creating the ability to order monthly.

The monthly low-step fee is $10.

You actually only pay $8.33/month buy choosing the $100/year option, so you will ultimately save money by going yearly.

But if it doesn't fit into someone's budget to plop down $100 all at once, then there is now a $10/month option.

Once again, I sincerely do appreciate the efforts of those who have contributed good pedigrees into this database, as well as those who have made thoughtful posts and made an effort to contribute their time here. I really do. I think if people read my own post count, they can see I have made my own contributions here also ... not even factoring-in the effort it took to create the site itself, the $20,000 out of my pocket to pay my brother, the posted articles (and the months of time it took to create them), the videos (and the months of time it took to create/edit them), etc.

I honestly don't believe what is ultimately an $8.33/month charge should trouble most adults, with the basic skills to survive in life, and who can appreciate spending a bit more to get something truly superior.

As mentioned previously, I myself spend $150/month to sustain this place (which is $1,800/year). Nobody bothers to think about that stuff. So when considering my own efforts and expenses to create and maintain this medium for everyone else, it's hard for me to feel sorry for any individual "stopped in his tracks" at the thought of spending a mere $8.33/month to enjoy the fruits of MY considerable time, labor, and expenses involved in what I have tried to put together here ... just because that person has "entered-in some pedigrees" too.

I will honestly miss the presence of anyone who has truly taken the time to make this a better place, but I am not budging on my price increase. With a realistic perspective, $8.33/month is not a big deal, it simply is not, and I am likewise quite sure those who leave this place over such a small amount will miss it here also. And the rest who stay will NOT miss the whining and complaining and can concentrate on the content.

Thanks,

Jack
