Suggestion and Policy
I have new e-mail?
Over the last few weeks I've noticed a button that says I have new mail but when I click on it, it says I need to be a VIP member to get mail. I understand this.
So, I'm wondering, when someone sends me mail through TER, why don't they get an autoreply that says I don't have VIP access, therefore can't receive mail through TER.
I would surely love to see who has written to me and I don't want them to think I'm ignoring them - I just can't get to their e-mail!
I raised this question last year:

TER's position is that they want to motivate you to become a member. I have to respect this. Here is Staff's reply:

"I would hope that having email waiting would entice people to either renew or to submit more reviews for their VIP memberships.

What would we do without you LM?

Unfortunately it looks like your attempt to purchase VIP membership has failed due to your card being declined. Good news is that we have several other payment options that you could try.
We thank you for your purchase!
Membership should be activated shortly. You'll receive notification!
