[MR] re: Value of membership (long post) (fwd)

[Logan]

i was just looking over some bills (since im not really reading anything
else on this thread currently) and i find it amusing that so many people are
upset about what their $20 a year goes to.  im paying $600 a year for my dsl
line, $600 a year for my satellite (which i dont really watch), $40 a year
for my blockbusters awards card (which i dont really use), $50 for heroes
IV, $25 for diablo LOD, ive already been to 5 movies this year (none really
good but at $14 each for the two of us), i spent $80 on ammo last time i
went to the range, etc.  now granted the last one wasnt purely for
entertainment and i cant remember what i actually spent at jillians (grown
up arcade) but it seems like such a low amount.

but ive been to around 20 events this year and i saved $20 just by going to
pennsic.  seems that the sca is a pretty good bang for the buck overall.


im just confused why my membership fees are so important when they are so
low anyway.  and why does my dsl line cost $50 a month?  confusing.


exhausted,
