Feeling a bit feeble because you're only a 'member'? No one likes a cheapskate - least of all your clients! Put your hand in your pocket and visit the wishlist - you can probably write it off as a business expense. The default upgrade is to 'Fellow', but feel free to use the title of your choosing. Fancy being a Chief Astrologer of the ISPN? Most Holy Lordy Lordy? Go for it! Just tell us on the gift section when you're at Amazon foofoo.
