The thanks given by GTSX makes all the difference, in my opinion.
He did thank the forum after all, just not in his auction.
I don't agree with the $5 to post a first thread......if you do that you'll never get anyone new to come on here and post. However, if you come on here repeatedly and keep asking questions, yet never give any advice back....then a donation might be in order.
Anyone who has followed my postings on the forum might take a note.....I ask very few questions, but I do ask from time to time, i mostly give answers. Its called sharing the knowledge and educated the uninitiated. Should I be charged for that? I agree, david's site should get donations.....I intend to WHEN I CAN AFFORD TO, however, as everyone knows....times are a bit tougher now than they were a couple of years ago. So, in leau of donating money to the forum, I donate my knowledge. In essence isn't it basically the same thing?
Yes, the one or two time posters that you never hear from again can be annoying, but so can answering the same questions over and over again. This is why searching the forum first for answers is the best method, then and only then if the answer isn't there, then ask the question. Why do you think I started the brass supraphonic thread? (thank you for stickying that David :D ) That question over and over just annoys the crap outta me.....Cool Dude
