Hi Netrodent...
I appreciated your post as it was well thought out and well articualted (something you dont find much here in this forum ;)
I did however, want to respectfully take exception to one point:

See, I disagree with this whole-heartedly. I will use one analogy that I have often used: If you rent a car, park it in the drive way and never drive it...do you still have to pay for it? At first you may think that it is not the same, but in reality it is exactly the same. A paysite has to be sure that it has ample hardware, bandwidth and content for its members to be able to access the site...even if they never come. These expenses are incurred even if the member never visits the site so yes, they should still pay for it even if they dont come and visit.
Just my $.02...other than that I thought your post was very well stated.
