I agree with this, and said so at the original discussion--where I think the consensus was not to use that phrase.

Is no one else concerned by the use of the word "free" in the message options being tested. I wouldn't want these ambigous messages like these on the site no matter if they beat out the no message option by 10 to 1. Why can't we test messages that are actually clear and honest? Wikipedia will still be free for everyone if not a single further donation is ever made.

I agree with you very much, Birgitte. Both of these messages sound like threats.
