Thanks **What Exit?**! It’s been a pleasure to watch you develop your Doping skills over the last ~2 years and I’ll do you proud by paying it forward when I can. Now I just have to figure out how to do this thing… Edit: Looks like it already counted. ---

I’ve been lurking for something like five years now, and never imagined I’d be dumb enough to pay to talk to people on the internet, especially when I just quit my job, yet here we are. I must be missing out on something great for a thread like this to exist. ---

Anyone want to take me on this round? Up to my financial eyeballs in trying to get my own business off the ground and April snuck up on me. Come July, I’ll be solvent again and can sponsor your next year, or will pay it forward. ---

I too can pick up a couple extra Dopers. Don’t feel you have to post here; just drop me a PM or an e-mail. I’ll post again when and if 2 Dopers have taken me up on the offer. If you don’t see that post, the offer still stands. ---

I can sponsor two Charter Members, or one new Member. I have a slight problem, though – I’d have to do it through PayPal, and even though I just signed back up using PayPal, I can’t figure out how to do so for some else. When I try, I get this message > [@](#): > > We cannot process this transaction because there is a problem with the PayPal email address supplied by the seller. Please contact the seller to resolve the problem. If this payment is for an eBay listing, you can contact the seller via the “Ask Seller a Question” link on the listing page. When you have the correct email address, payment can be made at [www.paypal.com](http://www.paypal.com). on [this page](https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick&business=subscriptions). If I could get that straightened out, I’d be good to go. Or another way, I suppose would be for another Member to use their credit card and I could send them the money via PayPal. (If that’s not too complicated…?) PM or email me if this works for someone.
