You are not, after all, asking for a discount because you are on a fixed income (that would not be ageist, and would be understandable).

As I said in that thread, you can blog for free. You can't get the fancy bells and whistles for free, generally speaking. I have gotten a couple when I was on a fixed income because friends have bought me upgrades and once WordPress itself bought me an upgrade because of all the work I have done in the forums (30,000 responses, if you're counting).

What do you want, exactly. The volunteers on here do not set the charges you know.
