     No matter how you slice it and dice it non-member fees are a way to
     bring more money in so that members don't have to pay as much.  It is
     making somebody else pay for your fun.  I know people don't like to
     admit that, but it's the pain, unvarnished truth. >>
    
    Yes, the plain unvarnished truth is that "membership has its privileges."    
    I don't understand why this is so bad???  Fair amount for everyone?  Why?  
    Why should members not get a break and non-members pay more?  I am obviously 
    missing something, being new and realizing this is obviously an old argument. 
     But I just don't see what is wrong with charging non-members more to 
    encourage membership and give a break to the members.
