<HTML>No offense taken and no insult intended, but rather encouragement and thoughts as you requested.
The point is, that if you charge for something, the product needs to be finished. Right now you indicate a couple of databases being ready and others to come in January. I would not advertise any new stuff for the member area but finish what you have in mind and start charging for it. The new stuff should come (in form of advertisement) once you look at a renewal of the annual (or whatever) subscription to motivate people to come back. I know you have many good ideas and they will benefit you in the future. How about the other ideas I shared?
Again, keep up the good work and don’t get too upset :-)

I find this letter a bit insulting - but that\\\\\\\'s perhaps just me.
First you say I need to finish \\\\\\\"half finished product\\\\\\\" and then you say we need to have it \\\\\\\"significantly enhanced\\\\\\\" annually. Which is it gonna be?
Be specific, what do you deem unfinished? I don\\\\\\\'t recall seeing you logging in and seeing anything here so this is a statement based on feeling at best.
Don\\\\\\\'t make judgements on things you have not seen. Always a good idea.
OK, gotta log of to finish this half finished product (only 6 years of work in there so far).
