Now, if you don't think EN World gives you $35 a year's benefit, I can't argue with that - only you know what is worth that to you.  But IF EN World's existence provides you with $35 benefit a year (say, a cheap meal out once a year), I'd ask you to consider the account anyway.  Only you know what value you get out of the site; I can't tell you that.  You simply need to make decisions on your own valuations.  If it turns out that EN World isn't worth $35 a year to most people, then I guess market forces will have spoken and we'll quietly fade away.  I still hold out hope that the site is worth that to people, though, because I believe there's far more available here than in any given $35 rulebook.</blockquote>
