**Spongemom** , check out [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=245878&page=1&pp=50). There are several dopers who are willing to use their credit cards to pay other people’s fees, either as a gift or as a loan (i.e. you Paypal them or send them a check or something). We’d hate to lose a good poster over something as silly as not having a credit card. 🙂 ---

> [@Spongemom](#): > > Somebody please delete those… :smack: …along with 2/3 of the other posts here. Sure, it was fun to jump on the bandwagon that one time, but the intelligent conversation is really the only part of this thread - or any thread - worth not skimming over. And now it is quite difficult to refrain from making a comment about a particular style of ray. Good to have you here, **Spongemom**! 🙂 ---

See, what would be funny at this stage would be to quote **Spongemom** ’s “Your politeness is much appreciated…” post, color it purple, and write “This post has been graped by THE GRAPIST!” underneath. Yep, that’d be funny all right. –Cliffy ---
