    Whether you agree with his stances or not, see him as a friend or not, I thought this was a classy move to make, and thought I would share with the board.
    Thank you Jim

    But I do not see what the big deal is. It costs you money to keep the board going, and I enjoy posting here. So why not let you keep the $50 and put it toward expenses?

    I appreciate the complements, and I am sure you find new ways to improve the board

    Well said. Nearly all the 'privileged' people I know make others feel comfortable. It's nearly always 'climbers' that haven't mastered that yet.

    Here are 2 of the best compliments I've received, though I've never been what I would consider 'classy':

    "I know you have a lot of education, but you don't make me feel like I don't have enough to argue with you."

    ~Given to me by a parent who is an immigrant.

    "You are the only friend I have that doesn't make me feel 'poor' because I can't do the stuff everyone else is doing."

    ~Given to me by a friend when her husband lost his job in the 80's and her daughters were 1 & 3. At the time I was married and we were doing well. Only acquaintances, she'd called me when her car engine caught fire while driving her older daughter to preschool. She couldn't afford the tow. I picked her up, drove the daughter to school, and got the car towed. We spent lots of time at both our houses with the kids playing. She's helped me out so many times since then.

    My childern, grandchildren and hopefully, greatgrandchildren will remember me. They will tell stories of how classy I was and so my memory will go on long after your stuff has been landfilled.
