Mark and friends,
I think Rhizome is a great organization. I have contributed voluntarily to its coffers and sport a Rhizome Tee-shirt that has been the cause of much comment.
Anyway, I think a membership fee, sliding or otherwise, would be just fine. Mark, it's nice to think that it's free, but there's nothing free. Anyone who can afford a computer and pay an ISP for on-line access isn't on line for free anyway. You cannot get a CD or a movie ticket for $5.00. You can barely rent a movie at Blockbuster for that. I'd say, "go for it."

Me too. And start paying the contributing artists as well.

Dear Mark,
Membership is fine. Payment is a pain.
As a current member based in Australia, and as a member without a credit card, my main concern is how can I pay in a way, that I don't have to run around. Postal order? Snail mail? If there is a way around this it would encourage me to pay a fee.
Thanks,
Daryl.

postal order (also known as money order) is one option. snail mail is
another. perhaps the best option is paypal. paypal is a secure online
payment system that is available in 37 countries. to set up an account, you
need either a bank account or a credit card. sorry if this sounds like an
ad for paypal, but i think it's a great service. more info at
