Veteran Amtrak and Via rider but brand new to this site. Have already found it to be enormously useful even though I have much experience riding Amtrak, so I decided to jump on board. But as I feel my way around I have questions, the first of which is what is the purpose of and value in the paid membership? I cannot find that info anywhere though it could very well be right under my nose but I'm not seeing it. Is it to post here? If so, I'll soon find that out if I'm not successful. is it to support the site? Appreciate any guidance,
