say that you are a low wage worker from Africa that earns equivalent to .10USD/day, and say you work 300 days/year, which means you earn 30USD/year. But now you want to subscribe to RHP, however RHP requires 29.95USD + tax > 30USD/year, which means you can't afford to subscribe to this site for eternity (assuming the country's currency ratio won't change). So Russ, how would you deal with this kind of problem that many of us low wage working class chess enthusiats have? you think you can lower the fee?

Subscribe NOW - the rate you sub at stays the same year on year.
Delay and Pay. You KNOW it makes sense.

This leads me to think that you are far from a lowly paid worker so as already suggested pay the going rate and stop using the poor of the world to save you a few $$

I myself am a non-native speaker. When I left my native home and travelled to London it was only with the thesaurus and dictionary that my late uncle left me that I was able to learn enough grammar to speak English properly at the level I currently enjoy.
It is not the tongue of the wife of my father and yet converse to make myself level I feel most able. Think not you?

I stated that in my opinion - his level of english made it unlikely that he had a job that was paying meagre wages 😛
