Letter from the editor

Dear friends, first of all, I would like to say a very big thank you for subscribing to this site. The other thing I wanted to tell you is that although I intend to keep a great deal of my content free to read, certain stories will be tagged as Premium Content. What that means is that to read those Premium stories, you will have to become a paid subscriber. This is because this site is not free nor cheap to maintain and I must do what I can to generate some level of income to cover it.

The good news is that becoming a paid subscriber costs as little as $5 a month using the Bronze plan. If you pay annually it will be even cheaper as there is a 17% discount. And if that is still too much, for a limited period, depending on take up, I have set up a one-payment offer for a lifetime of reading.

I hope you understand the necessity to take these measures. If I had a bottomless pit of money I would gladly make all of the stories free to read all of the time. However, as a pensioner on half a UK pension (because I live outside of Europe) I have to generate some income on here or close the site down. I am doing my best to keep it open, but if nobody pays anything, no can do. Besides, my lovely wife would never let me hear the end of it. Thank you for your kind attention in this matter and hope to see you all continuing to read.
