>>I would guess that Googleguy would stay in the free area, commenting on basic stuff?

highly unlikely - all teh SE's that read here would pony of the dough to have access to the private stuff in a hearbeat. They'd be at the front of the line waving credit cards shouting "Let Me In!" and we couldn't block them. If we did they'd just sign up covertly. There's not much chance we'll ever have a private subscriptoin section that GoogleGuy or others won't be reading daily.

just another 2 cents
