One of the basic concepts of success, "If it works successfully, don't throw it away. Keep using it until it doesn't work!"

Or until it doesn't need to work; then just keep it serviced so that it'll still work if you have to return to that well.

BobJ bought us a computer program. Willa is a machine gun typist, so I read, she types and it is at least four times faster than inputing on a machine. Without that, it would takes weeks to clean this up.

'Tis a good thing. Better you two than me (I could type somewhat quickly, but I am not exactly the most accurate typer).

Looks like the 'carpet-bombing' troops are to remain on 'High Alert'!! {;~)

THANKS ALL YOU FREEPERS!

On a side note: Does anyone realize that the FReepers who post the most threads on this site haven't donated a penny to the FReepathon, not going to throw out names, but posting worthless vanities, stupid news stories, ect, takes up bandwith, and costs money.

[Walkin Man]

Just wanted to let you know that a check for 40 bucks is in the snail mail for FR (am I too late??) and merry Christmas to all of you great freepers that keep this place running!

"(I could type somewhat quickly, but I am not exactly the most accurate typer)."

Ditto. Here's a sample:

You posted, "On a side note: Does anyone realize that the FReepers who post the most threads on this site haven't donated a penny to the FReepathon, not going to throw out names, but posting worthless vanities, stupid news stories, ect, takes up bandwith, and costs money."

There are some good Freepers who can't contribute for personal financial reason. They contribute with their threads and replies!

However, after saying that, the price of democracy is having to put up with the clymers who hate America and use Free Republic to push their personal agendas and group hate America/Free Republic agendas!

This is why the rest of us have to pay for the free loading clymers who hate Free Republic and post their spew free of charge!

[Grampa Dave]

You are never too late to donate to Free Republic. Next year, you might want to consider a automatic monthly donations. That ensures that your donation is received by Free Republic on time to pay the bills!

Thanks for your generous donation!

[WIMom]

Thanks for YOUR support! You added some lively conversations the other day. Remember, you owe $100 if the Packers WIN!!! Might as well pay up now!

Here, I'll make it easy for you.........

Donate to Free Republic

(I'm in really big trouble if we don't.......LOL!)

[WIMom]

It's never too late! Thank you very much.

Merry Christmas to you and your family as well!

[BADJOE]

IMPORTANT ! Please Read

.I want to make sure that everyone knows, That only I know who contributes and who does not. And only then, if I am able to tie screen name to real name. It is information that I don't even care to know.

I DO NOT HAVE A CROSS REFERENCE

This Freepathon about 1 and 1/2% of registered Freepers contributed. This is a very high percentage based on past performance.

The only way anyone knows anything about acontribtion or non contribution is if you out yourself.

Now, I just have to convince JimRob to grant the one week amnesty to the naysayers a week before we start. : ) That will, for sure get us off and running in fine fashion AGAIN !! : )

Mr Robinson: BADJOE is right on. Even though I am a small monthly donor, Carol HuTex's thread and the "unbanned" comments forced me to donate a couple of "onetimers" during this FReepathon.

Words alone cannot expresss my admiration for what you are doing (and all of your great assistants) for America. THANK YOU

[WIMom]

So, by your calculation (non-Laz math), we have about 1050 contributors? 70,000 * .015 = 1050

[Walkin Man]

Thank you WIMom! I really liked the bar graphic showing the amount of money raised. That was a great idea. You might have to leave it up a while longer, it seems to still be growing!

This Freepathon about 1 and 1/2% of registered Freepers contributed

Such a small percentage isVery sad, but like you have said, some can't afford to donate. I would never want to be responsible for keeping anyone off of FR for that reason.

[Walkin Man]

Thanks Grampa Dave and Merry Christmas to you and your family!

[abner]

I think we should ask JimRob to grant a one week amnesty to all banned posters one week before each fundraiser. : )

What a fantastic idea!

[okimhere]

Thank you so much, and you bet I will be there next time to cheer and join your efforts.

What are you doing today now that the fundraising ended so dramatically early??? Oh, you're probably still playing catch-up because there was a LOT of work in what you were doing.

See you in a couple of months, if not sooner somewhere on the threads.
