No, obviously *I'm* the one being unclear.  I intended not to move the
emphasis to "unknowns" but to point out that many of them *are* paying
$20/year NOW, and are very likely to stop doing so.  And to back up that
claim.

Be well.

        (who really does have better things to do than act pedantic,
         but wanted to make sure he didn't leave an incorrect 
         impression that he was arguing with Justin; but who does
         in fact rather enjoy pedantry)
