Its worth noting that just under 15% of the current membership base
are subscribed from a university address, and that that percentage is
falling rapidly. It is of course more than possible that many members
are students, but are not subscribing from university accounts.

Ahh. I'm nowhere near materialistic or egotistic enough for that. My

egotisical enough, at least this week.
