Me too, btw. For most of my reading life, for sure. I got to read on the coat tails of other who actually paid the freight. But as I wasn't putting any money (or not much) into the system, I really didn't matter to the publishers.
Why should I have? Should tobacco companies care about what I think of the price of cigarettes since I don't smoke?
