True, the concern would be the same, but it would be a nice gesture to allow anyone who would be eligible for life membership this year to pay early and have it become effective on their anniversary date. Even though I know that is a good deal being a life member dues wise, I think that the additional cost will give me pause and make me re-assess the cost especially since I would've been eligible in Sept and would definately sent in my $300 for life membership. I dont really see what a couple of months matter. I know there has to be a cut off date but a little slack would be nice.
Just some rambling 2 cents worth
