-<p>HCoop divides expenses among members based on a "sliding scale"-style scheme. We charge you only for our concrete expenses, not adding any expenses beyond what we pay to service providers and vendors. Whenever a concrete expense needs to be paid for, we divide it among the members based on how much each of you has pledged on this web page. Your pledge is a whole number 1 or higher which you can think of as indicating how many times the amount paid by the lowest-contributing members you are willing to pay. Concretely, every expense is divided by the sum of all members' pledges, and each member is charged an amount equal to the result of that division times his pledge number. This way <i>everyone's</i> monthly costs go down automatically as we gain new members.</p>
+<p>Base HCoop membership dues are set at $7/mo.. On this page, you can set a <i>pledge amount</i> above one, so that you pay 7<i>N</i> dollars a month, where <i>N</i> is your pledge amount, to help offset costs for members with more stringent budgets. If the members listed below weren't making extra pledges, we would need to increase the base dues amount of $7 to cover our costs.</p>
