Quote: reffy "If you have gone from strength to strength why have you got the begging bowl out.......... and I must applaud your demanding of contributions rather than asking for them.
Spiteful and self important, words that were invented for you. Your ego must be suffering a hell of a shock to find yourself in difficulty particularly as some of your long servers aren't supporting you. The irony of your situation is that most of the members who left (for a multitude of reasons) would have contributed immediately.'"
Good try but you know better than that, this is a matter of principal and nothing more.
I'm not going to allow a small few to contribute while the majority can't be bothered, its not the way I operate and neither will LL.
Your right of course, I am as you say both "Spiteful and self important" and anyone who's met me knows this to be true. Unfortunately for you I never profess to be anything else, whereas some others whom you mention have NOTHING of a personal nature to offer so have to fall back on buying affection.
