I don't like this idea. This would give someone with money to burn to ability to "buy" his way into the inner sanctum without having to "earn" his way in. As was previously stated, those of us that have been hear since day one or shortly thereafter, have paid our dues with "blood, sweat, and tears". I think newbies should have to earn their way into the inner sanctum, not buy it.
Credibility is something that comes with time, not money.
