I benefit in very different way from all of this... not $$ or material objects.jaywdetroit said:My point- I hope that Earl is getting some kind of *benefit* from these donations.

This year has pretty much been the worst year of my life (overall), and I can't wait to turn the page on January 1st, and forget 2006 ever happened...
But there have been some great bright spots; This forum is one of them.
So, your PM's and your messages honestly do mean a lot to me...
Wow, it must have been a bad year if listening to people(um...like me) complaining about dual buffers is a bright spot. :lol:Earl Bonovich said:I benefit in very different way from all of this... not $$ or material objects.

I also want to make it clear...HDTVsportsfan said:Jay...With respect. NO NO NO....
Start on page nine of this thread to have the background of how this got started.

I don't mean to speak for Earl.
This is not what the membership to DBStalk is about. Earl, wasn't promoting himself. This is about contributing to DBStalk and allowing the owners to use funds to say add a new server, upgrade a circuit, or whatever business needs they see fit.
If Earl or the other mods wanted money (personally), they wouldn't be doing this. They wouldn't make enough.![]()
I understand the point of membership. And I don't doubt that membership monies will go toward bettering the service. However, my payment went to Bott.com, and I am hoping that those responsible for taking payments over there, recognize WHY they are receiving so many donations. And act accordingly. It is Christmas after all.HDTVsportsfan said:Jay...With respect. NO NO NO....

I didn't mean to give the impression I was attacking you. I went back and removed your screen name from my post, but it was to late.
In public. .. I offer my apologies
