I dropped out of the national ACM for the same reasons mentioned here by
others.  The 'free' journals that came with membership were the ones I
didn't want and never read, while the ones I had to pay extra for were
the ones I did want.  I could not justify paying the money for a membership
that did so little for me.  It wasn't so bad as a student, but after I
graduated it became too expensive.
