Violet,
I like the idea of some premium profile. Just to get my vote in, I'd be proud to have a page like that on LD and wouldn't mind at all if it cost me some nominal fee. Esp if it keeps Kim's vision of a free list going. I for one am very greatful of all the generous and brilliant minds that occupy this space, and I'm sure in the beginning, I would have been put off by $.
