Hi Mary,
The "Free for 30 days" that you see is a tier of service for the over all list.
CDSS is funding this community so that we can afford the premium level service.
However, individual user accounts on the site are always free. (Only the list get costs
money, not the individuals.)

It seems the free account is only for 30 days. Am I missing something?

archives.
