Logged in and saw the notice that it was that time of year again, so I reupped my subscription. Ahhhh _languishes_ Another year of you all. Wait \<\_\< \>\_\> I just paid for another year of you all!? Ah crap. šŸ˜ƒ Just kidding. Iā€™ll gladly pay my fee for another year twickster, of Kytheria, of Diogenes, of Opal, of Hal Briston, of Calmeachem, and so many more! In the words of the horrid Robert Heinlein adaptation of a book, Starship Troopers, ā€œIā€™m doing my part!ā€ ---

I _was_ going to start re-upping people who make a big deal about leaving, but **Tuba** wonā€™t let me. :mad: So itā€™s just me, back for another year. The _Lost_ threads alone make it worth the moneyā€¦the rest is just gravy. ---

Well, SDMB just got a little bit more of my money too. If you pay with PayPal, thereā€™s an optional 66cents you can pay for a money back guarantee. I was thinking about paying it until I noticed the disclaimer that it was only for physical goods. I figured if all of yā€™all disappointed me throughout the next subscription period, I could complain and get my money back, but appearantly not. Oh well, I doubt that itā€™ll be an issue anyways. šŸ™‚ ---

I havenā€™t reupped, and I daresay the end of April will come and go and see no money from this poster! So there! I refuse to induldge the bickering partisanship on this board by being part of this ā€œApril Madnessā€ No more, say I! :mad: ('Cause my subscription doesnā€™t run out until the end of July. šŸ˜ƒ Iā€™ll pay then, just in case that sways anyoneā€™s decision.) ---
