Hey Adrian - I'm not sure what you're referring to by "premium". Is that we're calling the "friend" upgrade? Hmm. Even though I'll be a friend of Medium in a day or two myself, I don't know about that label. It makes us sound so snobbish. LOL. Please prepare to add me as a premium writer as soon as 12/10, unless there's some kind of waiting period before the badge is displayed. But seriously, do you think people will take offense at "premium" members?
