Forever... please?

Forever... please?

Parent article: A note from your editor

Hey, Jon -- as one or two others have noted, I'd be freakin' fine with you charging my card as long as it'll let you. I understand -- fully -- that you don't want to be grouped in with sites of, shall we say, "questionable morals," and hard-to-find-and-opt-out renewal options... but you clearly have no intention of doing this.

If you could, please add an (opt-in) option to allow us to be billed forever. If anything, it's inconvenient to have to go re-up every now and then. I suppose you could even have a checkbox (again, opt-in), which says, "And, yes, I agree to continue paying forever, even with the occasional price bump."

Bottom line: the huge majority of us (or, so I believe) want to support you, but sometimes, we just lose track. Letting us opt in for continuous payment is convenient for us, and no doubt would be handy for your finances, too.

$.02,

-Ken
