Heh. Re-upped months ago… I knew I’d forget, and it’s pretty cheap anyway… £4 won’t collect that much interest in the bank account. 😉 ---

I’m a dumbass, but for a completely different reason, and I’m HAPPY about it! I kicked my self just a little when I first paid, because somehow, I wound up paying for two years. Glad I did it now! 😃 We’ll just see how smart this Charterbelly Sneech is this time next year… ---

> [@Ed Zotti](#): > > Please see [this thread.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=314377) You know, if the SDMB can re-instate the dumbasses to charter status, maybe you guys should think about new status titles that can be bought, kind of like indulgences. So, if I wanted to be have a status of “Charter Member and Lord High Commissioner” I’d have to pay say $25. If I wanted to be “SDSAB” I’d have to pay $1,000. Could be quite a racket. ---

Well I don’t think you’ve typed nearly enough shit, really. Almost, perhaps, but just not quite _enough_ if you ask me. Enjoy your charterbellied sneechness and keep making me laugh. 😃 ---

My problem was that I completely missed the “noon” part of the deadline. I only saw the April 28th part. So on the 27th I go to resubscribe and have a problem (the ethernet card in my Internet gateway keeps mysteriously ceasing to function; I suspect it’s trying to kill me by raising my blood pressure to dangerous levels). No big deal, right? I could still do it the next day. So I go ambling back over there around four o’clock, and … yeah. ---

> [@chorpler](#): > > My problem was that I completely missed the “noon” part of the deadline. I only saw the April 28th part. Yep. I awoke on Friday morning and congratulated myself that it was still the 28th in SDMBland. I wrongly assumed the deadline was 12 mid_night_. ---
