I am MORE than a "little" angry, and am thinking of not renewing at
all. Especially after the e-mail I got about having to be a member who
"has committed to membership" by keeping a membership in force for
five years in a row....when I have been a member (off and on) since
1983! But took a couple of years off here and there to feed kids, and
then kids with grandkids, when times were hard.
Now I have to pay extra for the salary information, which has been my
main reason for joining up and ponying up $175 (what I have paid the
last few years)?
I don't think so. I'll pay salary.com the $50 or however much it is
(much less than an STC membership) instead and forgo the rest, thanks.
[Thinking seriously about whether the membership cost is worth the
small return in value to me]
