Does this mean that new members can pay $11 initially, and be able to "beta test" HCoop based on this $10 net worth until our next billing cycle (that is, until they drop below $10) ? My point is, I would agree with the changes and procedures, but I first want to make sure that people are still fine with paying around $10 initially, and that this will not unconditionally raise the initial fee from 3 to effectively 4 months up-front. -doc _______________________________________________ HCoop-Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.hcoop.net/listinfo/hcoop-discuss
