I hope you are not castigated for re-posting. To some it's worse than re-giving.
Here's some background on FReeperdom's founding father...
This one ought to be post during FReepathons too.
Jim deserves every penny that this site generates, minus expenses. If people don't want to contribute, they risk FR going away. I'm not willing to take that chance, so I'll keep ponying up during Freepathons. Value for Value.
Wow. Somehow I missed folks accusing Jim Robinson of ripping off donors. I think that's pretty stupid...I may not know much about computers, and ISP's. but I do know a site like this, with so many members, has gotta suck up bandwidth like a Hoover. Bandwidth is NOT cheap.
I'm glad I sent the small donation that I did. It wasn't much, but since I post here all the time, I figured I should contribute what I could for the bandwidth my posts suck up. LOL
"re-posting'? hahaha
I think I've reposted this every year...haven't heard a complaint from "The Big Guy"...
So the self-chosen "posting police" can suck canal water...!
Bump for JimRob.... A great man with a great vision!
When I first read your post, I skimmed it quckly and missed the "c" in canal. You can imagine my surprise.
Absolutely. This site must stay around forever.
Already postd by you here http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1011545/posts
Here is an earlier posting of this that recieved hundreds of posts...Free Republic and Jim Robinson's Finances. Good background reading for newbies.

hahaha....Go back further...
:^) I forgot all these !!!!!!!
TREMENDOUS CHEERS AND SUPPORT FOR JIM, JOHN AND FAMILIES.
I fully trust them.
They deserve at least double whatever they get from FR.
bump
I'll one-up you...... I'd be tickled pink if he'd get rich for what he's provided us, as long as he keeps it going.
That's because you only got here last month; the internet is filled with sites who repeatedly say just that. dakine was kind enough to post the truth, leaving out the vile things that are spread by people who have a grudge against this site.
On one Freepathon thread, I posted "Pay to play" to the people on my ping lists; since then I have been accused of being in on "the plot" with Jim to fleece all the rest of you. And I mean repeated postings of it.
See what we're dealing with here?
Thanks for doing this, dak.
