Sheesh.

The last time I checked, the American way is to charge whatever the market
will bear for a product or service.  If there are more potential customers
than you can satisfy, raise the price.  If you don't have enough people to
buy what you're selling, and it will maximize your profit to do so, lower
the price.  In short, the customer defines the value of whatever you have
to offer.

If you don't like the price increase, then either go support the competition
or find some other way to *not* support PCPursuit.

In short, the vote you cast with your money is what matters.
