[Ldub]

but at least you didn't get called "self aggrandizing" or "elitist" or anything...

But look on the bright side of life mate...

You prolly will...

[JoFotoz]

Ya know what Dub.....

.....I get your UBER donation thing.

I REALLY agree with you on that...REALLY!

I Don't get it...seriously......I DONT GET IT......

BUT..whatever...we thrive because of THIS SITE.

Let me repeat....WE THRIVE BECAUSE OF THIS SITE.


But..apparently we have to be a TAD circumspect ...
...on our nudge/poke/WTF..how CAN YOU NOT DONATE.....!

....$20 a year for ALL THE INFO you get.

OMG..seriously!!


Yea..I crossed the "NO DEBATE" line....My bad.

BUT.....its a no BRAIN'ER.

$120 this month raised...$300 REQUIRED.

..
...Ya all wanna log on and see a blank page........NO!!!

Side Bar....Scott/Moncha has....would not, never will solicite funds.
BUT..that dont mean this is a FREEBIE!

So...if I/we pisss people off by asking for donations......

.
..SO BE IT !

I get WAY more than $20 a years worth from this site.....

...and maybe even GIVE back $20 bucks of input.


This site is a HAVEN for VX fanatics....


....please...support it.

[Scott Harness]

Just listening to/knowing you two guys is worth a NICKEL a day!

[RickOKC]

Well...that went over like a fart in a space suit...

(jump to 1:20)

Enjoy!

I just make dumb jokes. I'm probably under-paying.

As soon as I can spare $20 I will donate. I agree that $20 a year is not much, but too many things have come up for me lately to be able to pitch in. Patience young jedi. I was actually planning on making a donation in September until my wife got pneumonia. I need the money for pharmacy visits now. I'll try to send my $20 in October. I seriously appreciate whoever keeps this site up.

WELL SAID BRO...

I seriously appreciate whoever keeps this site up.

That's the be$t part...since Da Boss accepts no $ from outside adverts, we ALL have the chance/privilege to contribute to the financial upkeep of this site...

I dunno bout all the rest of y'all, but doing my part always makes me feel good......or maybe THIS is a more appropriate "feel good" smilie for me...
The concept of contributing to something bigger than oneself appeals to me.

In return, we get to share info & learn from each others experiences, without having to wade through ads for tires/batteries/accessories/etc.

I think I hear it coming...

[Y33TREKker]

It's obvious that, even after so many similar discussions on the subject, some of you still aren't self-aware enough to even realize when you're doing what you say you're not doing.

Seriously, making posts like the ones in this thread then feigning ignorance about coming across as self-aggrandizing?

It's no wonder human progress occurs so slowly.

And I can do that too.

I could have easily predicted that we hadn't seen the last of these types of self-aggrandizing threads.

I needed to look up self-aggrandizing. LOL!

And THERE it is folks...

Than-KEW VERY much...

The COOL part is...I think he referred to us as humans...sort of...WOO-HOO...

Well...uhhhhhhh...neener-neener-neener then...

You should take your insanely massive powers of prediction & make some money in the market...

Maybe start out slowly, with some penny stocks.

Settle down guys - please.

There will always be those that -
Want to donate, and do so.
Want to donate, but have higher priorities for their limited cash right now.
Don't want to donate.


Thanks to Scott's (Moncha's) generosity and hard work, this site is open to all of the above.

That doesn't mean that a gentle nudge to remind people of a shortfall in the monthly target should divide our group, or be hit with unjustified criticism.

Similarly, let our other less fortunate friends live in peace and without recriminations.

Let the donations flow from those that can, and let the reminders show up when there is a deficit.

I am sure that Scott will give us a warning well before we open up to a blank page.

...without recriminations....

That's the part that always seem to get conveniently forgotten. Promoting donations has always been entirely understandable. I personally just always found it ironic that this all started with some taking offense at my getting too personal with my observations on the matter and "psyche" evaluations of certain participants, when they've apparently still never considered the fact that by throwing around some of the derogatory labels they were in the beginning, they were doing the very same thing, and that they did it first.

Selective memory is a very powerful thing sometimes.

Are you serious?

Unca PK, Larry & Jo started it...

Ooooo, I'm Stinging all over...

Please continue the dance...I mean, twist & spin...
