ICC and FREE should never be used in the same paragraph.

If you're upset about the use of `free' to mean `included in the
price', you've picked the wrong century to live in.


Is it true that ICC is kicking out guest accounts and raising its
"membership fee" to $60/year?

Why the scare quotes? Are you claiming that the money ICC charges for
access isn't really a membership fee? What is it, then?

They're increasing the price from $49.00 to $59.95 as of tomorrow.

I've no idea about guest accounts but logging in as `guest' gives no
warning that they're going to be discontinued.
