I'm not quite sure why this is a touchy subject - the people who run this site certainly have the power to end this discussion any time they so choose, so I'll just continue to wait until someone who can answer me comes along.If you're not banned before that someone shows up. ;)

A sense-of-humor implant would go a long way towards improving a few of the personalities displayed here. This may help:

All the extra money is being sent to me, so I can work on putting together FR's "swimsuit" edition. It's a hard, demanding task, but I don't mind, because it's for a good cause. This was supposed to be a secret, but now you know.

I told you I am tired of this nonsense every time we have a fund drive. There are people all over that continually harp about JR and the funds of this site and it is a shame.
Many of these people post on LP and every fund raiser they cast aspersions about the owner here. So this has a purpose if it is coming from a long time member.
If you want to go ahead with it fine with me - I resent it as petty and not very complimentary to the owner of the site.
And I read enough of general's comments throughout this thread to know that he "discusses it and discusses it" never receiving an answer that satisfies him to drop it.
Although he may put a disclaimer in the bottom of his numerous postings on the matter - he is still throwing this question out there and he knows the answers because he has been here year after year. And, he knows full well why he is doing it.
Frankly - I will no longer read his posts and will let others come to the defense of Jim because it is a total waste of my FR time.

...he knows the answers because he has been here year after year. Absolutely false.
And, he knows full well why he is doing it.
To get an answer. Which it appears I'm not going to get this time around. No problem - it's only a few short months until the next fundraiser, and we'll just have to have a look at the numbers then, won't we? Yes, I think we will.

I've said, more than once, that I don't care what JimRob does with my contributions, and that I expect him and John to pay themselves reasonably well for their efforts.
I'm reconsidering, though. Next time, I may specify that my four bits goes toward hiring you an assistant. After all, it's a "hard, demanding task" you've assumed, and you shouldn't have to go it alone.
BTW, Mr. Henry, I'm still looking for interesting employment, and don't mind if it's hard and demanding or doesn't pay too well...

You may have to get in line to be Pat's assistant - there might be a bit of a rush ;)
More seriously, I don't know of anyone who doesn't think JR is entitled to support himself from this - I've no doubt it's a full time job, and he, like all of us, has to eat and keep the lights on and so forth. Speaking for myself, however, I think what I'm interested in seeing is a balance sheet that, well, balances. That's it. I don't think that's too much to give to contributors, do you?

I could use some help with last-minute adjustments. It's not easy making sure all those bikinis fit just right. Very demanding work, and the girls are always squirming around. Are you sure you're interested?
