Thats worth 25 bucks next sign up. Or is it 50 this year??
If it's 50 could the star be just a little bigger?

I believe it's 30 for the new site.
 
One thing about being labeled as a founding member is it makes you feel old.

Speaking of 'what if' scenarios; had the 'Web' been invented in the early 1980's {about 10 years earlier}, I Also likely would've been a 'founding {Caissa} member'; as the more sane alternative, to having 3 times played in the "World Open," where my lack of 'OTB' {live} playing experience,
in retrospect, made me easy pickings.
 
Also, having an inflated perception of ones' own correspondence {'snail mail'} chess ability, means little-to-nothing, at "World Open" {2 rds. per day}, type, tourneys.. 'D-u-h?!'

I like the sound of Elite member better the Founding member. With my rateing its more like floundering member.
