    Ahhhhhh Glen....I concur with your sentiment! I still have some beer $$$ left but, I just don't spend it at the bar anymore! Sheeeeeesh...If I had all the money back that I left at the damn bars, this fund drive would be totally unnecessary; I could fund it solo, as well as get that Harley I'd love, a big 'ol Stubby lathe and any number of other "toys"!!! Had some fun (OK, had a LOT of fun!) but, in hindsight, load of dough literally "down the tubes"!!! (So nobody ever accused me of having too many brains!)

    I really enjoy visiting this site. Im not one to post allot but the times I have the responces have been fairly quick and informative. Now I just have to convince the SWMBO to write a check and put it in the mail.

    Thanks for all you do Kieth and Arron.

    Keith,

    The upper left side of the header says REGISTER for new members. The first screen asks for DOB. Why not have the first screen briefly explain how SMC is a member supported forum, and ask for donations. This may help solve the problem that seems evident by reading this “let’s talk” thread - as one member said : “...this is the first time I have heard a single word about the need...” New members may not donate at sign-up, but they will be aware of how this great forum is funded and may be more likely to donate in the future.

    When I joined, last november, I had no idea why some members had “contributer” by their name - contributing content, not money, first came to mind. I’ve contributed 2 times since I joined, and I’ll send more - don’t change SMC - no ads! More PR about how members can support SMC.

    There are many good suggestions in this thread, and a commitment by (some) members to pay for the knowledge offered, and the opportunity to share our opinions, praise, rants, good and bad times, etc. in a civil community.

    For the non-contributers, duh .

    I look forward to visiting this site every day, and it should be funded by proud members with contributer below their name, not Keith and company.

    I'm in for a bit now and will continue to support later. Is the Creek a legit non profit? If so I can get matching funds as well from my employer. If we can't get you the fiber a little quicker at least I can get'em to help support a little.
    By the way I understand that the price for 30mb service has been dropped to about $79 a month.
    I could cry for the time I've wasted, but thats a waste of time and tears.

    Thanks!

    I am an infrequent poster, but a very frequent visitor, lurker, consumer of information presented. I have sent my donation via PayPal, and THANKS to all who have any kind of support role in this fine organization!

    PayPal donation on the way as I hate blank pages and proud of my Saw Mill Creek hat. I receive more than I can give to the creek. Love the people on this forum; they really help us new woodworkers.

    Keith,

    Another PayPal payment sent. How could I NOT send an addtiional donation, given all the additional bandwidth my shop thread is taking up!

    Thanks for the creek...and for not polluting it with advertisers...

    Well hey, we can't let a shortage of capital get in the way of a good idea.

    PayPay on the way.

    Several have suggested a reminder screen for regulars and an explaination screen for newbies. Sounds like a good idea.

    Thanks for all you do to keep the Creek flowing.

    Best regards, Tom, in Houston, hoping the fund raising sets another new record.

    [quote=John Miliunas]Hey Keith, you do realize this means I won't be able to stop at the bar on my way home from work next week, don't you????

    John won't give up my beer money but have 4 wood magazine sub's. One I don't read much will be dropped and those proceeds will go here instead. Got more info and learned more here than any magazine I have. Check is in the mail. Thanks again Keith, Jackie and Aaron.

    OK, I've been told I had a great time in the sixties, and I'll have to take their word for it, but that great time may part of the reason I don't seem to be able to figure out who to make the check out to.
    I did find the address, but unclear as to whom...???

    Al who's still looking for all that free love he heard about....
