I'd guess that Rude is a democrat...
Hitech and Pyro appear to be Libertarians, who think that there should only be a level sim tax, that compensates themselves aptly enough, as well as fuels the machine for progress.
This is the standard that I agree with.
Although, with my current limited abilities, there should ALSO be lower Base level subscription price with hourly fee.
Right now I'm without an AH account because I can't fly enough to justify $30 bux.
So, have the $30 unlimited for the guys that can...
AND have the 9.95/plus hourly fee with $29.95 stop loss, and get OUR business as well as those others.
Just my opinion, which without a subscription, means exactly squat.
