Default Would you pay a monthly members fee to use Wikipedia?

I was thinking about this earlier (and coincidentally saw Tom's thread about paying to use TiBB) - Wikipedia requires donations to maintain its running costs - it's surely one of the most used websites in the world and it's monitored by a team of people making sure no one vandalises the content and users are adding good stuff. Surely the eventual logical solution to this is they charge a small fee per month for people to use the site which would then likely reduce any trolling because people would have to pay just to be able to vandalise a page which seems a bit dumb...

Would you pay a membership fee or would you not bother?
