But this is driving me nuts. I am mostly a lurker, you will not find very many posts by me but I am always coming here for information. For example, I am about to refinish my floors. I came here and found out that BONAKEMI is one of the best floor finishes out there. On top of that someone had already posted one of the cheapest places on the net to get it. Outstanding.
I love all the posts and what Jim said but I still think that people are missing the point and Keith would never say it because he is, from what I have seen, way too professional. I am going to say it though:
Everything on this site is free. FREE. Everybody that works here works for FREE (except for the techies (sorry techies, not sure what else to call you) as Keith pointed out) but even them (Aaron I believe) worked at one point for FREE. I believe that Aaron is the one that helped Keith start Sawmill when Badger Pond shut down. If I am not mistaken some of these recent posts are what contributed to the reason Wayne decided to shut down Badger Pond.
Call it poor planning or whatever (even though it wasn't), some ads got up that maybe should not have been but from what I have seen it was for a book. It does not matter, REMEMBER THIS SITE IS FREE AND THE PEOPLE THAT WORK HERE DO IT FOR FREE AND SOMETIMES MISTAKES ARE MADE. It was nice to bring it to their attention but lay off already. They said they are trying to take care of it. You cannot always anticipate all the problems that you will have and that does not matter, there are alway going to be mistakes, what you do to correct those mistakes is what really matters. Oh did I mention it may take a little longer to correct the problems because these poeple work for FREE and have other jobs besides volunteering at Sawmill.
Whether you choose to pay or not to pay or whatever, it does not matter BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE CHOICE. You also have the choice to not visit anymore.
Regardless. I am going to put my Kudos in for Keith and try to keep up the nice work and the wonderful site. I hope that I never have to browse this Forum on a CD like I do Badger Pond. I am the Vice President of Engineering for my company and I am responsible for every product that gets designed and released to the market. Everytime a customer complains I hear about it. Fortunately I am paid well to listen to complaints. You cannot please all of the people all of the time. Just try to do your best and things will fall into place.
THANK YOU FOR ALL THE INFORMATION THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN ME SINCE 2003 AND KEEP UP THE WONDERFUL WORK.
