Glad to see I wasn't hallucinating. With what premium membership offers at the moment beyond market access, $5/month seems to be more like it... I won't be renewing for $20 unless I have a need to start selling on the market (in which case market sales would cover it, and it'd be easier to look at it as an investment). I'm just not into corporate charity --- the price of a product or service needs to match the value it provides!

@cbass: I generally don't use any third party sites' internal messaging see more systems for anything but the most casual quick messages, precisely because you never know how private or secure it is. (And it's also a pain in the ash to log in at a dozen different sites to respond.)
