Huh? Capitalism? No longer useful? Both you guys are going overboard in your reactions. Fifteen years ago, you had no option but to buy the printed edition. We should all be thankful to SIL that they've been giving everyone free and unlimited access to this (still useful) resource on the Web for many years now, and that there will still be lots of free (just not unlimited) access.
