Allan,  It seems like a long time since I renewed.  I don't seem to get reminders. Am I still active?

 All current subscriptions will be honored regardless of how many years.  Anyone expiring before 12/31/14 can renew for one year at the current rate (if renewing for multiple years, the new rate applies to the second and later years), and anyone expiring after 12/31/14 can renew at the new rate.

What about folks who paid for two years as we did?
