And I agree, it is worth the price on its own. The magazine is astoundingly good. But, the difference between Associate Members as they exist and Steve's proposed new class of members, whether they be a new category or the definition of Associate is expanded to include them is simply whether they reside with a member or not. The benefits are exactly the same. If there is a benefit to being an Associate Member as they exist now, the same benefits will be there for the expanded Associate/Trial members.
