I don't want to ruin the surprise for anyone but check out this quote from Dr Bob in reference to money produced by the board by hypothetical paid registrations
>I know, it sounds crazy. And this board wouldn't be what it is without a core of active, knowledgeable, and caring posters.I was thinking that people could not be charged if they posted a certain amount. Or that they could even *receive* something. To compensate them for their contributions. Then I thought:
What if *everyone* received something? I kind of like that idea...

Bob mentioned recently that he might try to "find some cents" to pay his Administrative Support Staff so maybe this is what's coming.
But he is so right that the site couldn't exist without the posters. In fact the content of this site is almost all contributions from posters. His massive archives are the source of many of his "customers" as he demonstrates in his lectures by googling effexor. Personally, when Bob asked for the right to use my posts I assumed it would be for helping others by leaving them in the archives or using them in an article or book as he said. I am not happy with his idea of using them to sell advertising for things which I do not wish to promote.
I remembered that quote because I always thought it showed an innocent idealistic side of Bob that I liked. So I thought I'd share :)
Bob could you give an estimate of my share so I can start buying Christmas gifts for little zazenducky junior? Thanks.
Your friend
