This is my favorite WW forum - Technically I love the easy formatting tools (not available unless you use the IE browser at FWW) and the clever pictures (thumbnails that can be easily expanded). People-wise I find the posters and responders include a large number of astute and generous people. And usability is greatly enhanced because SMC keeps old posts and pictures - I just read two huge postings on glues that were 5 years old.

I would be really sad if SMC disappeared. The price to become an official "contributor" is $6 for one year. I've gotten more value than that in responses to single questions.

Please help them. And please keep up the good work SMC! Thanks

Doug, I couldn't agree with you more.

Just a question, and don't take this the wrong way - why does it show you're a "member" and not a "contributor"?

It should be noted that as a "Member" you only see the free side of SMC. The "Contributor" side has a number of advantages. Because of economics...many companies have decided to stop advertizing. This will cause a big change in how SMC will operate the free side. If you think SMC is worth it...you need to donate.

It's worth the 6 Bucks just to be able to have a photo album, which by the way, I noticed, that most 'Contributors' dont even use.

Damn good question! I guess it must have been over 12 months since I contributed??? I didn't get any notification, I don't see any ads... So I went and contributed and now it says "contributor"!

Pretty ironic that my attempt to raise money for SMC did just that - my money!

Thanks John

The "Contributor" side has a number of advantages.

What are the benefits of being a contributor (other than not being a free-rider..LOL)?

This site is one of the truly best. It's not only provided me with a ton of information, but also actually saved me a lot of dollars on several purchases just in the last few months. I heartily encourage all readers to financially support Sawmill.

Right now...FreeStuff Drawings...Separate Forum (LumberYard)...No ads...Classifieds...

But the most in my mind...respect for what Keith and his family does to keep this going.

I'm a new member also, and just became a "contributor" via paypal.

Thank you for sponsoring this great forum.
