But wait - there's more....

You folks are the best and deserve the BEST!

How about we also throw in, FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR, every member gets the exclusive "ad free" membership? No more annoying pop up ads for anybody!

That's right....you don't have to pay extra for this perk - normally reserved for our most elite members. You get it all year - free - just cuz!   

Happy New Year!

Mike, I wondered where your post was when I went back to that topic today. Frustrating that that forum does not want the best sources of nonpartisan information for their product available to its owners. Sorry to have some ownership in the reason for your counseling session.

FRF is not owned, or operated by, FR. The owner has a pay for clicks system. Anything that draws his members to click anywhere else, is a threat. I have about 5 posts in 9 years there. It's his forum, and he gets to set the rules..

Makes sense, not disagreeing. Rules is rules.

Rpod Nation is used very little, and for good reason, you have given them above.  Just checked it out a minute ago (first time I have visited it in a few years) and the last post was over a week old.

One of the things that I have always liked about furpod is his "knack" to be (most of the time) simple, direct, to the point and....RIGHT!   

The concept of "free exchange of information".....well....all of these web sites are owned by somebody who pay/paid the expenses of creating and continuing to maintaining them. While it may not cost us (personally) to use them, we are subject to any "use conditions" that they wish to impose. "Free"...we are as free as the owners allow us to be.

On this forum, we are fortunate to have an owner who very generously covers these costs for us. Not only that, the "use conditions" are pretty darned unrestrictive, IMHO. This is something I think we can all be thankful for. Situations like this are becoming more uncommon.


PS - furpod… Good news...I have it on "good authority" that our salaries are being doubled this year!

Bad news....2 X 0 still equals zero.

I hope you enjoy your increased compensation as much as I!

Thanks to both Mr. Smith (furpod) and the illustrious David for keeping this run smoothly.  To be funny I would like to throw a snowball at each of you, just to share the wealth, as we received 12" last evening.  They even had to cancel the Cherry Ball drop and all related festivities in Traverse City last night, just too dangerous to be out in it.  So instead, my DW and I took a romantic walk on our 20 acres around midnight in the midst of a blizzard of snow, pretty cool.

We are fortunate, indeed, to have the dedicated people who run and moderate this forum.  It is a real jewel for all of us.  Thanks to all for their hard work.

And Happy New Year to all the great board members.
