You listed an amount for management and other expenses. I think that you're entitled to a salary, but I'm curious about how much you get to keep from all of this.
Having said that, I'm all for keeping FR alive and strong. LONG LIVE FREE REPUBLIC.
Will you be using the services of W&S again? If so, do you plan to ask if they'll just "put it on the tab"?
hehehe
Drive on JR. Stay the course.
I obviously haven't been at this site as long as either as you, but frankly, neither of you have impressed me very much. Perhaps if you stopped calling anybody who disagreed with you names like "sheep" and "Bushies" and "goose-stepping globalist goons," you might have more of an influence upon others in this forum. Right now, you just look like crybabies who can't take the heat.
Free Republic is like a lifeboat and a friend and anything but a fraud. Not only does it provide an outlet for many of us to discuss current issues and deliver news, but it is therapeutic. Those of us that are interested in the offerings of FR have a refuge here and the thought of its absence makes me shudder. Long may it live !!!!!!!!! I'll be mailing a donation tomorrow.

Why, thank you, RO, but you know how I'm all talk (just like you!). I was just trying to fit in with the decor of the thread. This IS the "Time-to-Whine" Thread, isn't it?!
Besides, your lovely, gracious and beautiful wife would promptly rearrange my face and I'm sort of attached to it. ;-)
Yes, the same crowd of FReeper disrupters who did their level best to troll Reunion to death (harrowup, TLBSHOW, JenLart, Lazamataz etc.) will no doubt join your chorus.
It's really a simple equation: Fear of banishment = Obsequious sucking up to Jim Rob = Attacking anyone Jim Rob designates as "the enemy" to prove one's devotion and to render oneself banishment-proof = Conspicuously railing on Arator for anything and everything, real or imagined, especially on a thread Jim Rob may frequent
I understand the desperate ploys of the slavishly insecure. Thanks to my public dissent, I have become the instrument for many to prove their bone fides with their would-be "master". Consequently, I regard all these silly and bogus attacks against me to be exactly that, and I do not take them personally.
I hope that your Arator-bashing merit badge earns you many a censorship/banishment free day of FReeping. If so, at least you all will be partially compensated for your own loss of personal integrity, decency, dignity, and self respect.
Any service has a perceived or intrisic value. It's simply worth what it is worth to you.
It is not your concern how the site is administered as long as the service is of value to you.
Jim could be stuffing your money up his nose and it is not your concern as long as the service has value to you and you give Jim no more money than you think the service is worth.
