I'll pick up the next month on the list; I like to see my nick in lights. :D

I am pleased to say that an anonymous lurker has sent me a check that will cover five months. So November and January through April are now covered as well.

I was completely unaware of this thread or how the board is funded, and I assume there are other people similarly unaware. Can we make it a sticky?

I trot it out when it's needed to replenish the Treasury. And it's not even necessary for a year now, so I prefer not to have it front and center all the time.

We've gone long enough that I'm sure the large anonymous donation we received has long been used up, and we've therefore gone without support for Robert, who pays the bills and toils mightily in the background to help make this site a reality. So, who wants to claim an upcoming month and chip in $10 and thus reap all of the rewards (and responsibilities) of JBoardie of the Month? Step right up!

I'll take October. I'll be celebrating 60 years on this planet and 1 year since a successful surgery.

Could you please send me a PM reminding me what to do?

I'll be glad to make a donation, considering how much time I spend on this site.

I've finally wound through that contribution, and am now lauding those others who did contribute last year. Thanks again one and all!

Speaking of the server upgrade ... it's time we once again start reimbursing Robert for the money he lays out every month to keep JBoard running. That doesn't even include the time and effort he puts in. At his billable hour rate that would ... um, a lot. So, if you would like the esteemed, albeit temporary, position of JBoardie of the Month (including, of course, the reserved parking space right in front of JBoard HQ), respond to this post. But I'd like to do things a little differently from now on. Only ONE person respond, please. I tended to get very confused about the queue and let things drop. So if only one person responds, it will always be obvious who is the current contributor. I will then, at the beginning of the following month, bump this thread and then hopefully someone else will step up. $13 should do it, and I will contact the lucky soul privately with details on how to give. Since I'm doing this mid-month this time, the first person gets a whole month-and-a-half!

Also, if you would like to make a contribution without being the Boardie of the Month, just contact me privately and I will send details.

Thanks all.
