Thanks for the ping. I have had trouble with the “post” in the past; I’ve said it has a hair trigger, it’s strange!
I’m going to re-sign up for a monthly donation. I used to do it years ago. I mention this now because one of the reasons (if not the only real reason) I stopped was because of the following: (excuse me if it’s rather rambling, I’m not used to being up and FReeping at this time on a Saturday haha)
For some reason, the monthly donation was rejected by my bank (or at least it didn’t go through one month, as I noticed online). It then went through the next month and I didn’t think much of it. A few months later, I had to get my account info changed, and then, as part of my update to all my monthly “bills”, I changed the info here at FR. But the change didn’t seem to “stick”, and the monthly donations never re-occured. I got lazy and never tried to track down the issue.
Anyway, I thought Misters Robinson might want to hear about this so I’ve pinged you both. Maybe this happens to many (?). It’s strange.
Anyway, I’m going to go “re-activate” the monthly now. I’ll say it, it’s “only” going to be $5, but as Lazamataz said once on a really funny donation thread from a long time ago, “If only 50,000 donated $5, then that would be $250,000”, or something like that. Which was/is mathematically true. The thread was funny though because Lazamataz made some mathematical error in making such a case and spent the next 20 posts doing similar calculations with various amounts and donor numbers, intentionally I’m sure; it had me in stitches! That whole exchange alone made me want to donate!
Thanks again for the ping, I think it’s reasonable to make such a donation.
See, Jimrob? I'm useful after all. :)
