My membership is about to expire soon, and I don’t have the money to re-up, but still want to be one of the teeming millions. Financially, things are kind of shaky right now and I know I just can’t spare the $14. Anyone care to sponsor me? ---

I’m enjoying my time here as a poster rather than my previously held title of “lurking passerby,” but funds are hard to come by at the moment. Would anyone care to sponsor my sticking around? I can’t promise I’ll never disagree with you, but I can promise to at least contribute a bit here and there. Once I get back in the swing of having some cash, I can probably re-up someone else. ---

Hey everyone. I just got my reup notice, and I’m a bit broke. I’ve got a day or two left. My job was closed pretty much the whole of my college Christmas break (( work at the school library). If someone could help me out, I’ll be able to return the favor soon - a month or so, once I start getting paid again (school just started again so work did too), either back to you or pass it on if you wish. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help! ---

Subj: I need a sponsor: Harmonious Discord To: TubaDiva I need to request help from the Dopers. I was hoping this year to not have to ask for a sponsored subscription. The short story is I can’t swing it. Is there a Doper willing to help me? It was a nice break, but I see threads that need answers. It kills me! Thank You: Harmonious Discord ---

Subj: sponsorship request Date: 01/23/2008 01:37:33 P.M. Eastern Standard Time To: [TubaDiva@aol.com](mailto:TubaDiva@aol.com) Sent from the Internet (Details) Dear Ms. Diva, When the Dope went to subscriptions I wasn’t in a position to pay, I figured it would at least free up a lot of time. Unfortunately, I find myself spending even more time as a lurker, as I’m compelled to constantly check threads to see if anyone has posted what I wanted to say. After years of trying to project my thoughts into other posters’ heads, I’ve finally decided it would be much more efficient if I could actually post it myself. Unfortunately, through no one’s fault but my own, I am again not in a position to pay. I can’t promise to be an especially worthy poster, but to whomever would sponsor me for a year, I pledge my momentary gratitude. I would also be fleetingly grateful to you for posting this, or an abridgement hereof, in the sponsorship request thread. Cheers, TWDuke PS: I’m actually not a nutcase. ---

(sigh) Well, I’m still un/under employed. I can’t believe I’ve been in this situation an entire year but I am forced to again request assistance for my enrollment.
