Thank you for expressing this opinion; I was feeling the same way.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, May 7, 2009 at 3:53 PM, John T. Settino <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:john@johnsettino.com">john@johnsettino.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I personally can't say that I would feel it fair to have my dues
doubled and not receive any noticeable upfront benefit. <br>
<br>
For example, my only gripe with hcoop is that email is often slow and
boggy. Will doubling my monthly payment magically make email get
better? I doubt it.<br>
<br>
I can't necessarily say I'm thrilled with Adam's apparent "I'm okay
with dues being raised so who cares if someone else isn't, they can
leave if they don't like it" attitude about the situation, either. <br>
<br>
I've been paying $5 a month or under for over 5 years and I don't feel
like having to move all of my accumulated email / files and setup
everything somewhere else. I run my own webhosting company and could
just as easily keep my email there, but I choose to keep it at HCOOP.
So will I up and leave if dues get doubled? Probably not; I don't like
change and like the way my HCOOP email it setup; but will I be pretty
pissed off about not having a choice? Yes. <br><font color="#888888">
