No, no, no Bill.  Didn't you read the handbook?  Your whole self worth is 
supposed to be wrapped up in the number of people subscribe so that you will
do anything to keep the numbers up.  And when you realize you can't make
everyone happy at once, you then commit ritual suicide.  Read the handbook
next time.
