I'm with Sai - I don't really give a shit about veto rights either. I'm also one of those peeps who is pretty new, and only in the space ~1x/wk, so the $80/mo seems a bit steep for now.<br><br>I love the affiliate member idea, and totally did not know it existed...it seems like it would fit someone like me perfectly. Advertising it more = win. The only question - do you get to write this off on your taxes (i.e. is it a donation, or am I on the books as an official "member", and therefore can't take it as an exemption).<br>

</div>Just to be clear: I was not suggesting that "full membership" out to be<br>
faster/cheaper. I'm not really interested in full membership; I'm just<br>
not around noisebridge enough.<br>
<br>
I was strictly suggesting that there ought to be a level of membership<br>
which is appropriate to someone like me, becuase I think there are quite<br>
a few people who are infreqent but regular visitors to NB.<br>
