you want to come up with.  The minimum $x has to be calculated with growth
in mind and not be too large or too small.

If there was an official membership for Lugnet, would anybody that wanted to
use its services have to join? What I mean is that if someone like myself just
wanted to read through the news, would they have to pay and/or become a member?
