I don't know about Harry, but I've tried that several times, only to experience the same abusive cycle at the hands of Jim Rob and/or his "Anonymoderators": my perfectly good, non-rule-breaking threads get pulled for no apparent reason and myself or other FReepers I care about get banned without cause. That's why I can no longer be content to passively acquiesce to continuing and ever more intolerable FR mangagement abuse of its guests. The systematic abuse of FReepers on this site by the management must stop in order for me (and no doubt many others) to want to spend our time (or money) here. It's as simple as that.
Good to post alongside you again. I am somewhat puzzled by this JimRob post... which is to say, if FReepers decide the time has come for the FR jig to "be up", JimRob will be the first to know it by the drying up of the donated cash.
If, on the other hand, this thread is merely a more-subtle-than-some-of-the-recent fundraising drives, I applaud the marketing strategy employed.
It gets the message out without the offensive Catholic "donation plate in your face" affrontery, and it plays effectively on peoples' generosity right around Christmastime... always an effective technique.
Anyway, Happy Holidays, Arator! Hope to be seeing you around!

Like old times, eh?
