I wasn't going to post on this thread as there was no "No Pants" option. But my blood is boiling due to events over the last few months and this donation thing.
To start with I think that the monthly cash contribution is a great idea and so I signed up thinking it is about time I gave something back to a network that provides me with enjoyment. I cant wait for the next show and try and plan days off to listen or sit by the computer on a Monday night spiriting J to pull his finger out and upload the podcast, my F5 key is worn out from refreshing the screen in hope that the podcast is there.
My $10 isn't much of a contribution in the scheme of things nor is it breaking my bank (even though the exchange rate for the Australian Peso is about the same as the one south of the Reo Grande) but I do believe every little bit helps.
To my point
I subscribed to regular payments a few weeks before J's RANT about the "..hey you guys, don't let your brothers and sistas carry the financial load.." thing and winced as he started his comment. I could see what was comming and BAM he hit home. I thought that I would have to cancel my donation and stop listening. Even though he used that squirmy voice and attempted to explain his way around things it still came across as a detonator for a guilt trip. Thankfully for me I bought it and continued to listen.
Recently, after my contribution, the shows seemed to dry up and yesterday I sat in the chat being entertained by a bunch of asshats instead of douchebags for more than an hour ofter the intended time for the Cellebrator show. There was talk of a coup where gucci, sorry I wont mention his name, suggested that an uprising could be the answer. I was hating Brewcaster J so bad at that point and then the stream came to life. J joined the forum, gave his pathetic excuse and I was in love again.
What was my point?
Thats right, I beleive that the members of the brewing network are bound by the brewers code and would not intentionally sponge of others. Even BooB makes a contribution in his own special way. There is no need for talk about letting your mates down by not contributing, I'm sure others would if they could. No guilt trips required here.
Sometimes I become very emotional about things that mean a lot to me, so fuck you Shat.
