Interesting opinion, I have to say that what i disagree with is that you cannot increase retention longer than stock numbers, I believe this is a falacy of people who have only come from the paysite side. I won't go into details etc. as it would be a chapter, but you know Steve I always like any discussions with you! So what would you say back to me about our retention? I believe we are an industry leader in retaining members, and our methodology is that we believe its easier to keep a member than to get another one. Let me know what you think!
