    I have saved hundreds in both real money and time spent in research. Even with my tight budget the $10 is a no-brainer!

    If you are asking is this forum non-profit the answer is no.
    If you are asking what the owner of this US based small business buys after paying all the bills around here my guess is anything he wants.

    Hmmm...I looked back at my original question because I thought for maybe just one split second I had gone senile and forgotten what I had just asked...nope. I didn't ask if this forum was non-profit. Wonder why that guy would ask me that? Oh, well...

    Wait...another one?! Crap. *scrolling back up to re-read my original question...again. I really gotta get some memory pills or something...*. Nope...I didn't ask 'what the owner of this US based small business buys after paying all the bills around here...'

    Hey OutandBack...thanks for wondering about my question, I appreciate you looking out for me. Most of the times when I don't know the answer to someone's question, I usually just don't say anything. I remember one time where I said something about something I didn't know anything about and I looked like a real a$$. Then another time where I just came across as a smug prick. It was a real riot. But hey...hyoh, right?!

    Thanks Wanderlust78!

    Since I'm new to this whole 'forums' thing, I was just curious if my 'donating member' status came with any perks or anything. So it's kinda like just a membership fee, right? Totally cool with that. Do 'donating members' ever get any special deals on stuff or access to special events or invites to events or anything.

    Thanks again...just trying to learn a little bit.

    Wow, it seems some people just look to be offended.

    KLS, OnB was just attempting to answer questions that are frequently raised when the subject of "where does the money go" comes up. You're the one that made it more than it was, not him.

    In general, If you're looking to be offended then the DM area probably isn't for you. Happy hanging!

    Ha. You are so right. I can't believe OutandBack was offended by this newbie's question.

    Sorry KINGLONESTAR I guess I did not understand your question and was trying to read between the line.
    To be more specific you get nothing more for your $10/yr donation than access to the DM sections of the forum.

    No lines to read between here. Just an 'owner of a US based small business' here wondering what good or service I would be getting in return for my investment of $10.
