Ah, but over the years I've learned that no matter how delicate an operation, no matter how full of risk, and no matter how much Alex worries about it, the result will be perfect!
Okay, that's a pretty tough standard to set for anyone, so let's just say he meets and exceeds expectations! ![]() Great job, once again! And everything is quite zippy from where I sit! |

So, when I logged onto MR and the computer grabbed my throat and trheatened me with extreme physical violence if I didn't pour my coffee directly into the box, that was probably just a hallucination?

Who funds/supports this wacko group of weirdo's???
I've been wondering for a while, and this seems as good a time and as good a place as any to ask:
Who pays the bills for this great place? I've picked up on the fact that it was originally started by Alex, and a host of folks help moderate, all volunteer labor, but... Servers and ISPs cost money. Do the banner ads on the site cover all the bills? Is it a money maker? Break-even? Loss? Just curious. It's a great site, and the ads are pretty innocuous, compared to a lot of sites... |

Fess up. You were upgrading to Windows 7 weren't you. :P
I missed all the drama and fun. I forgot and went out to do errands and it was over before I got back. Next time. ![]() |

Alexander, perhaps you could set up an alternate site so that when you have to do things like this we could all go there?
I'm just sayin'............. ![]() |
