    Dude...WAY good on You!!!.........

    And that reminds me...

    I've noticed a few posts in other threads, where people have indicated that it's time for them to renew...but have yet to pry open the wallet...talkin' the talk is easy...

    On the other side of that coin, so is clicking on the "DONATE" button...

    Just a friendly reminder...

    Site support

    I'm sure some of you get tired of hearing about site support, but think about what ya get from this site. "tube shrinkage", "nipple sensitivity", "embarrasing exhaust" just to name a few. So if your circumstances allow, throw a little $ to help offset expenses.
    While I've got the soap-box this also needs to be said: Although, site support and donations keep Moncha from having to reach in his pocket to support our addiction, no-one should feel pressured to give (maybe gently prodded but not pressured). I was worried about SomeBeach, he hadn't been around for a while, so I e-mailed him. He said that he hadn't been on cause he got a strong PM from one of our members about gaining all the knowledge available here and not being a site supporter. Each persons decision to support is a personal one, circumstances vary, so support status is welcomed but not required. I'd rather see all the members of this "unique" family feel completly welcome to offer their opinions and experience regardless of their status.
    So I said to myself, I said "Handee"
    and this voice came back and said..
    "He's not in, may we take a message?"

    SomeBeach, SomeBeach... Oh, DougieVX! Really, I thought he was already a supporter. That sux he got scared off. Invite him back, whomever you are that scared him away! It took me a bit to see the error of my ways regarding site support from others. I like how handee does it. I personally think it takes some people more time than others to realize why... or to feel compelled to... donate to the cause. If they are gone, they will never come to the realization why they "should" support. It took me over a year to donate, for several reasons, but at some point, it just felt like the right thing to do and that feeling has never dwindled. Donating by my own accord and without pressure at my own pace is something I took for granted, I guess. Handee has done a great job of going about this without manipulation or angst or anything negative. It may not be as much fun as "playing Nazi" or "discussing things" with Trek... but it does seem to more effectively capture the intent without using attitude. DUR! Keep it up, Crockett!!

    Scott, if things don't add up to the needed amount at the end of each year, I'm sure there is something we all can do to offset the cost so you don't have to. Don't keep quiet if "the collective" leaves you short at the end of the year. You know we'll make it right...
