> [@An\_Gadai](#): > > Were you cheapskates all just hanging around for this day? 🙂 You have \*no \*idea. There were SO many occasions that I was itching to resubscribe. Burning to pay my money and put in my two cents. I became paranoid, convinced that people were posting things to bait me. Things that I wanted so badly to reply to just to try to wrest that $15 out of my tight little wallet so they could LAUGH at me as the board went free five minutes later. Hahahaha! Look at \*\*Solfy \*\*- paying for something that she can get for free!!! What a maroon! Well I showed them! I can quit any time I want! I don’t \*need \* this message board. In fact, I’m just going to type this one little post. Just one. That will make me feel better. Yeah, that’s it. I can stop at one post . . . ---

I notice there’s no field showing how many posts non-members have made since they signed up. I wonder if there’s a way to activate that field for them. -FrL- ---

Sadly I must admit that yes, I am a cheapskate. I have been reading the Dope for years now and never signed up. I am so ashamed of myself. Commence with the beatings. ---
