Re: Make Basic level accounts paid
On behalf of the three groups I own, none of which has a budget, I have to agree that even $90 a year is too much. That's why we went ONElist, eGroups, Yahoo, and now groups.io.

Re: Make Basic level accounts paid
Too late… its nothing more than a rumor mill. That is working hard on getting out of hand. And pissing off a lot of FREE and PAID members…

Ellen, see my post #16860
where I stated;
"I see nothing from Mark that this is the intent."
I hope Mark comments soon before
this gets more out of control.

Re: Make Basic level accounts paid
Well the goal for a paid product isn't to gripe over the fact that you
want to pay for it or not. This is why I'm against things being
offered for free. People lose focus or sight of what they wish
