To the not-so-nice Guest:

Unless you have been personally solicited by Max, you are under no obligation to donate ANYTHING. As my astute colleagues, above, have stated, many of us receive far more enjoyment from this site, than could ever be redeemed or expressed in monetary units. If you do not feel this way or have not experienced the upgrades that have occurred over the past three and one/half years, then you are blind, or more nicely put, simply unawares.

I'm sure there are mudcatters who simply cannot afford to send a donation, but they contribute in other ways, such as, helping newcomers to the site or researching an answer for a question. We consider this as much of a donation as sending a check. Have you given up your personal time to help a fellow mudcatter? If you answer is "no," then everything said in this thread is probably falling on deaf ears.

So, stay if you like; go if you don't like. The Mudcat Cafe will survive with or without you, however, most mudcatters feel that losing "someone" is sad. It is your decision.
