Man! No matter how hard I try to be a good guy, they just won’t let me. Screw it. It’s nothing but evil villain from here on out.

Not so fast, my pretty!

I hope you do sponsor some other Doper; it’s a very nice thing to do.

I have an open offer in the other thread. So far, all needs have been met, ASFAICT. Instead of responding directly to those who have offered, the little prima donnas just pop in and ask for help, forcing the offering members to fight over them, like groupies fight for a scrap of sweat soaked bandanna off the head of Today’s Latest Sensation. It ain’t respectable. So far, I have managed to float above the fray.

It pays to be quick and early. I had no problem early on, then everyone joined in and I made room.

**TubaDiva** , that was cool, I was going to do it myself, but I can only sponsor people from home, I don’t like to use my Credit Card at work.

Is that who owns SDMB or who “pwns” SDMB?
