I wanted to bump this up a little.. and also say Thank you Tom. I've read a lot of your posts and have gathered valuable information. I just paid for a life time membership. Not because I want to be able to get access to everything.. but more because I want to support the work that you do.
Haha, with a screen name like yours, I thought there's be something ironic in the post
I actually get no $ support from any of the fees people pay on this web site.
Zero 0.00$
Greg Watson manages that and pays for the server and software and everything else other than what I write etc.
He does most of the work.
Now those fees do not come close to paying the bills, but both he and I do not care. This is the hobby and NOT dealing with advertisers is well.......sweet!
Little $, but no drama. Still operating at loss is not bad, as other business cost that would be taxable are written off here.
So it's not quite the loss we might think it is.
I trim my tank and sell plants, but while I might make a 200$ a month off that, I do not get paid for my labor.
I'm operating at a loss there as well. So I sell wood, do consulting and have clients.
The best way to return the favor is to help others. It's quite amazing and makes you feel better.
It's pretty much what life is about.
Greg helps me, I think I help him, I help you, you help the next guy, pay it forward type of thing.
