Default Bad stuff, bad news, bad guys

Man the board is depressing these days. Feel like I am at a family reunion where all of a sudden people are just going at each other, gloves off, telling them what they really think. I haven’t been here anywhere long enough to even understand half of the historical charges and countercharges being thrown about. Threats to people’s families? WTF. Are some of these folks typing away from mental institutions or federal penitentiaries. This stuff is important because we all have money not it but it’s just money.

Shout out to Leon, the master of ceremonies, top banana, keeper of the asylum for keeping this under control. Hearding cats would be an understatement.

Thanks for the kind words, Steve,.
Put 10,092 family members together and see what happens.

I do the best I can and that seems ok for about 80% of our members. It is the old 80/20 rule. I think with the amount of time I am spending here nowadays I am going to have to double the membership fees.

I was going to request a reduction of my membership fees. How about five bucks off, one time only?

That discounted lifetime membership for contrarians a few years back was probably a mistake.

As I've said before, I think Leon does a good job running the board. No complaints from me.
