Given the number of people I have recommended to the paid version of Evernote (my manager, the department head, and others who pay for it), I don't feel bad about it. An Evernote "Basic" level, with much the same as the free version would be much appreciated by those of us who do not need the extras. I haven't hit the 60MB upload size since 2010. Why pay for things I don't need?
PS: I've been online long enough to know how to ignore trolls.
