I don't have a problem with paying them. I think I donated years ago 
when I started using them and they were asking for voluntary donations. 
I can't remember that long ago(aging sucks). The rub is that I can't 
get into my account to upgrade it. The account is still there and my 
hosts still resolve, but access is blocked. Of well, I'm getting what I 
paid for.

Thanks for the input everyone.
