You would not be cut out, no one would. The extended membership would, for a fee, allow those who want to download more than the minimum amount of photos to do so.

Ron Brind Posts: 19041 Joined: 26th Oct 2003 Location: England	Posted at 17:46 on 9th October 2008 Thank you to all who have posted on this subject in the last hour or so with their additional thoughts. Alan, although I put in a fair amount of time for POE, I do so without remuneration. Indeed Anna and I support Chris and Sarah (POE) where we can, exactly as Chris said for the benefit of others ultimately, despite struggling ourselves. That really is a fact of life, but we are also proud to be able to say we help. As for having any say in POE, I have no more say than you! We do it because we love our family's, both here and in the home. Alan the idea of a two tier membership will, or will not come from Chris and Sarah alone. I am sure they are watching the posts as usual, and will comment in due course. Thank you Lyn B, Alan and Emma for your thoughts and/or comments. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Free membership would stillgive access to both. I'm sure POE would take into account everyone's opinion before going ahead. It was just a suggestion put fprward for consideration. Nothing more. I'm sorry, I hope Ihaven't offended you. I just never thought. Me and my big mouth!!! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Free for new starters so they can have a look around and decide if they like the site (or us mad people): with a membership fee for those who want to upload more pictures, and regularly post to the Forums. Perhaps Ron can give an opinion on whether Chris and Sarah would be likely to consider/accept the idea. It would in all fairness have to be their decision in the final analysis. Yes, I would be Alan.

Sue H Posts: 8172 Joined: 29th Jun 2007 Location: USA	Posted at 18:35 on 9th October 2008 As a moderator I am going to ask in all politeness that Ron not apologise one more time to one more person, it is just not necessary for him to do so when he has apologised in more than one post to all concerned. If we do not let this pass, then bad feeling will continue to ensue and that is not healthy for any family or friendship. I don't think we need to delete this thread but I do believe this has run it's course and I feel it should be locked. I am going to do this, understanding that if Chris, Sarah or Ron feel it should be otherwise, that they have the power to unlock knowing that I am not going to be offended by their doing so. If anyone has positive and constructive thoughts on how we can support POE in our own capacity, then let us address this in a separate thread, and again I stress in a positive and constructive manner.
