Why do these pledge periods have to take so long? For a measly $66,000, I would think the pledge period would only last about a week. If everyone who used this cite for longer, in a year, than they do reading a magazine subsciption, pledged the price of a magazine subscription, I believe the pledge amount would be met in about two days. I certainly hope the day never comes when I have to see "Cialis" ads blinking on the right side of the FR page so they can pay for bandwidth!
I agree with you on this.
No kidding?
I wonder who "them" is?
FR is better than magazines none of those multi lil subscription thingys fall out of the screen.
And I don't have to recycle!
Or clutter wall space with back issues I might want to read later!
Different times topics are in the forefront.
When the subject matter is not keeping my attention it gets me out of here doing something else for awhile.
But I always lurk or start posting again. No reason to stop paying as a monthly, it all evens out in the end.
And now a days where can you hang out for $20 bucks a month.
In my world $66,000.00 is two years salary. Not measly for me.
I do however agree with you for all the traffic around here if everyone gave a measly monthly donation we would not need to have Freep a thons four times a year.
10.00 - 15.00 dollars a quarter. Come on folks!!!! Donate.
Give what you can give!
LOL...I ad to laugh at that post because hit it so close to home..

'Nazis' is inflamatory, but 'pro-death' would seem to be a neutral statement of fact.
Sorry, but if this is meant to convince people that there's nothing to see here, it's having just the opposite effect for me. Last year's 2'nd quarter fundraiser came up with $60,000 in 194.5 hours, or $308.40/hour. 2003's 2'nd quarter fundraiser did $60,000 in 197 hours, or $304.56 per hour. This year, after about 136 hours, the total is $20,276, or $149.08 per hour - half of what it was for the last two 2'nd quarter drives. Even if you throw in the monthlies at $11,460, that's still only $233.35 per hour so far this year, a decline of 25% compared to 2Q 2004.
I'm not trying to convince anyone about anything -- I just put it up because someone requested that I do so.
I have not even read the thread, nor do I intend to.
It ain't over till it's over -- we are only into our 5th day including a weekend (always slow).
Don't try to draw me into your argument -- I have better things to do.
She wasn't 'killed'. Killed in my mind insinuates murder. I don't remember reading about any formal charges brought against Schiavo, Greer, or any of the hospice workers. Perhaps you could provide the links to those...And to believe some 'conservatives' have the audaity to complain about slanted questions from the media. I guess it depends on which way the question is slanted huh?
Apparently if you didn't support the circus in Florida with the crackpots that wanted Jeb to wipe his butt with the Constitution and take over the hospice with guns blazing, then you are "PRO-MURDER"!
I know. I'm an animal lover myself but always thought it was funny in a wierd sick kinda way.
It was popular on Freepathon threads when I first started here and I'm feeling a bit nostalgic lately.
I'll promise not to post it again :-)
Voting is closed folks. We have a winner!
By my count there were three that posted an opus and left: hhutch, poohbah and long cut.
Puts one in mind of the BADJOE/Saturday Night Massacre incident.
What do I win?
A suit of Anit-Flame Cyber Armor. I have a feeling you are gonna need it.
