What,
other than the $6 MA subscription,
do the $30 Family tier give up that justifies the $28 dues drop when they forgoe the magazine?

We can clearly wee some folks pay $14 more for getting the magazine than without,
we see some folks pay $28 more for the magazine than without.

Who is going to tell the $30 Family ama members that they are only saving $6 ?
Cause telling me the $30 folks are saving only $6 off the $58 aint cutting it.

They are not paying just $6 for MA, they clearly will pay $28 more for the sole purpose of getting MA... or what is that long list of goodies they give up to account for the other $22 savings of $30 Family


Besides, using the numbers from last years Aug & Nov MA
2005 MA Direct Cost $2186k
2005 MA Advertizing $992k
2005 MA Subscribtions $62k
How MA did in 2005 : $1132k LOSS

2005 Average MA subs copies sent: 131.6k

so if we divide $1132k LOSS by the 132k MAs sent to us
averaged out MA getting member cost $8.57
regardless if they really paid "Free", $14, or $28 to get MA
