This poll is not public, so don't worry about people finding out about your economic status or lack thereof. Don't let 'em drop it. Don'tlet'emdropit. Stop it... bebop it.

I believe that Mo indicated that she is a USFA member that does not fence. I think that she has a family membership but she is a non-competitive member just like my wife or daughter.

I have a 3-year because I hate the usfa and want them to get as little of my money and at as far apart as possible intervals. "In offering to you, my countrymen, these counsels... But, if I may even flatter myself, that they may be productive of some partial benefit, some occasional good; that they may now and then recur to moderate the fury of party spirit, to warn against the mischiefs of foreign intrigue, to guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism; this hope will be a full recompense for the solicitude for your welfare, by which they have been dictated." - George Washington

Gosta go with the 3-yr plan. This way I can use layaway. Heaven is where the police are British, the chefs Italian, the mechanics are German, the lovers are French, and its all organized by the Swiss.

3-year for me, because I joined towards the end of a membership year and didn't want to mail out money again so soon.

I considered becoming a life member, but I'm young. And what if I lose my legs or something? Then it's 1000 wasted.

For reference, lifetime membership is now $1200. It increased along with everything else at the beginning of the quadrennial.

I know three lifers in my area.
Until I can afford that level, I'll keep investing in three years at a time.

-B No, but when you're REALLY young, well, I might decide I hate fencing in two years. Or maybe I'll get a job somewhere where there is no fencing. Better to wait until I'm better situated.

Okay, jesting accepted. Because I thought I did I a good job this time keeping things fair, complete, and balanced. Don't let 'em drop it. Don'tlet'emdropit. Stop it... bebop it.

Bound to be a lot like me - been 'fencing' for 14 years (never lifted a blade mind) and spent countless fortunes on two sons!
