2008 Holiday Tip Jar For The APUG Moderators..

[Sean]

Hi All,

It's that time of year again same system as last year:

Our volunteer moderator team are: David A. Goldfarb, Jd Callow, Ole, SuzanneR and JBrunner. The smooth running of APUG is a testament to their hard work.

If you would like to make a small donation to them as a thank you and a holiday gift. I've included a paypal button to this post which will donate $5.00US (and produce a flag in my account so I can keep track). I will let this run until New Years, post the final amount, then close the thread and split the donations between them. I will be putting in $150.00 to get things rolling. With any luck the team will have enough for a nice dinner out & some left over for film

Feel free to post a note in this thread stating you have contributed.

Here is the paypal button to click:

Can I put my donation in a bowl of barbwire and vinegar?

If the Gestapo wants their tips, they should work for it!

PS. They seem to make some good money, can I be on the team next year Sean?

Good morning, Sean;

For the few of us who still live in the early part of the 20th Century, is there some way that we can make a contribution without a PayPal or credit card account?

I have been meaning to ask you this question regarding the Subscriber Program also.

Good morning, Sean;

What a surprise! You live in the same town as the guy with the little machine shop who invented the Harbor Bridge Machine that moves the concrete blocks over a lane to reverse the direction of travel in that lane. I have been to his shop. It is amazing what can be done with a little bit of thought, a special mold to pour in concrete, and the little wheel from the screw jack stand on the front of a trailer tongue. By the way, here in the Pacific Northwest, the WSDOT people call that machine; "The Zipper." I have no real explanation available for the logic in that selection of name.

And, thank you for the reference to the "other methods of payment." I do admit to you that I had not scrolled down that far on that page. When the next thing down was a normal credit card, my thought was that I had been forgotten again. I had just assumed that it was a "normal" arrangement for payments. It is surprising what lingering side effects there can be from the death of a marriage. I will arrange for a cashier's cheque.

Matt,
Helen would love a kitchen table and with your donation I may just be able to swing it!

Have a great holiday.

Reminder

All due respect to the other topics in this forum, but I thought I'd offer one "bump" so that the 2008 Moderators Tip Jar had one more shot out front for anyone who hasn't seen it. This is a good thing to do (and easy).

 

[Christopher Walrath]

I put a little something in the kitty. Thanks, guys. (Oh, and gal.)

Here's another for the tip jar.

Merry Christmas.

 

[Robert Brummitt]

Done and Thank you for all the good work!
Happy Holidays to all and have a great new year.
Let hear it for Change in 2009!

 

[CRhymer]

Here is a little something and "Thank you!" to those who make this a very civil forum.

Cheers,
Clarence
