Look, I know that it is a shock, a disappointment and indeed for some of you a grave insult. But how many threads do we need about the various aspects of the Dope now costing money? *
To those of you that leave, I know that some of you will be missed while others of you will improve the place just by not being around. To those that stay, well it will be good to have a lot of you still around. But please people, can we give it a rest? There are a lot more important things to talk about.
*Except this one which is automatically worth because I am the one starting it.
ok, i agree, too much talk about $5. in the time people spent reading those threads, they could find $5 lying in the street. maybe. actually, who cares?
so, the link about sudan, i mean, i had no idea. that is terrible. i guess i will have to go look this one up. unless someone wants to bring me up to speed, cause i haven’t heard anything else about it.
but it is much much much much more worthy of my time than debating $5. hell, that’s less than 2 days worth of smokes…
If you’re talking about this thread, Admiral, then drop it. OneYogini is a good friend of mine who I met on a cruising board a while back. We’ve spent a vacation together and surely will again sometime in the future. We’ve kept in touch with each other in emails and on the phone. She’s my friend.
Just so happens my friend is paranoid to make any kind of financial exchanges on the net. So, as a belated birthday gift, I told her I’d spring for it (and take the crazy risk!). Best I can do since the Hallmark site forgot to send her my card.
I don’t need you to tell me what charities to donate to, thank you very much. Keep your nose out of my wallet. And as for “some pathetic twat”, if I were you, I’d do a search for all posts by “OneYogini”. After seeing what kind of person she is, you might want to apologize to her. Asshole.
If you weren’t talking about that post, then you might want to consider that other people might have equally valid reasons.
Admiral, I apologize. I just saw the thread between Zabali Clawbane and Lib. I realize you probably meant it toward them.
However, I still don’t think it should bother you if someone else is offering to pay for someone’s subscription. There are 40 000 stories out there, on the SDMB. Don’t assume you know them all.
This place is so cruisy lately. With your sexy hijack, you cool chicks just totally rock. Yeeeayyyyehhhh!
Back to the OP though, we are talking about fifteen bucks. That’s some pretty good scratch.
Personally, I’d feel better if we kept a full membership free of charge but chock-full of guilt, like Public Radio. The distinction in my plan would be the neat perks. Let’s say I wanted some extra special features, I’d cough up a $15 annual fee and be entitled to replace the word “MEMBER” with, let’s say, “VISCOUS MENISCUS.”
