Now that really tickled my funny bone!
"If you are not over the hump yet and your business model is in doubt, then I would be glad to become a subscriber, not because I need (or want) the power features at this time, but because I want I-Hub to succeed and if my membership would make a difference to you, just let me know."
Please don't fool yourself, your money not going to make a difference either way in the bigger picture, either the business will work or it won't, my money won't matter one way or another either, it's the synergy of everything coming together.
If you are not a subscriber but you have the money and like the service the way it is now, then you are the most compelling argument against giving free filtering away. I think that's pretty ironic.

The best way to convince a fool that he is wrong is to let him have his own way.
