Do you ask at your grocery store what they do with your money? I don’t; it doesn’t matter. All that matters is whether what I am getting for my money is worth it to me. In this case, all that matters is whether the $14.95 per year is worth it to you to be a member here. If it is, welcome aboard; if not, seeya.
It’s a joke, son, a joke.
:eek: You aren’t buying that expensive Science Diet Hamster Formula crap, are you? My wife’s blog gets along just fine with Purina.
…And to the actual reason for this post:

What’s a PTB?
Power(s) That Be.
Being flippant about such a serious question does not help things
Your question has been seriously answered, multiple times. What more do you want?
If it has been answered then why do you continue to add patronizing remarks. To increase your post count?
It’s a taste of what you’ll get here: a mixture of jokes (some based on obscure references) with serious answers (including incessant demands for “Cite?”). And you have to be clever and/or determined enough to sort out the frivolous from the serious. Obviously, some of us enjoy it enough to pay our money and take our chances. And, if you aren’t seeing it yet, perhaps you never will. There are corners of the Internet where I wouldn’t want to hang out (paid or unpaid). Chacun à son goût, mon ami.
You are our guest here, DOShaw. That means for the time being all you are investing is your time; you are reading and posting and etc. on the Reader’s nickel. Plenty nice of them, no?
If you find that the prospect of being asked to contribute to keeping this place going is more than you can bear then perhaps this is not the community for you. Can’t please everyone. Perhaps there’s another board more to your taste further on up the road.
Fascinating… So a Guest’s post count and location don’t display, but if that Guest becomes Banned, they do… Interesting quirk of the software, there.
I do not think you know what this word means. I also do not think I’ve been patronizing towards you, but perhaps you can show me otherwise?
Looks like this thread is mostly a festival of mutual annoyance. Since this is not the function of ATMB, it’s time to close.
