RE: 'Precious Metal' member
I paid for Platinum. I figured everyone would be highly jealous and seeing as though people are now bowing to me as I pass them at the airfield it must be working. When I first arrive a platoon of folks in white lab coats march to my car with military precision, unload, assemble everything, set up my chair, fuel and start my airplane, hand me my ZAP and carry me to the flight line on a throne. Then they gather behind me and chant that I am their god. While I rest on my throne they massage my thumbs, feet and temples and ensure my airplane is squeeky clean for the next flight. All of this from a Platimum membership.
Of course, all of this adds nothing to my already huge ego from being a part of the Book of the Month club twenty years ago.
OK, enough BS. I just figured that if I wanted to use the features, then it would be bought and paid for and it was not much money at all. I have learned so much from RCU, sold a few items, helped people, made friends around the world, read some great humor and generally have had an all around wonderful time using this site, so I feel that I have received more than the $79.00 or whatever it was that I paid for the Platinum Membership.
Humbly Yours,
