If I recall correctly, members put together a prize package for member #7,000, a Russian lass who expressed appreciation, then disappeared. Are there plans afoot for #8,000? Or, chastened by #7,000, are we going to await the magic #10,000? | ||

Those CD's are worth a LOT! ... can't just GIVE 'em away to any ol' rapscallion who happens to get lucky and be #8,000. (and it's "tarriers," ya slacker, ya!) | ||

So basically you got a pretty sure bet that lucky numero 8K turns out to be a total fooking douche bag. Yeah, I'd think I'd contribute to a prize pack for that. | ||

There are running from laissez faire Capitalism and corruption in the present state. They miss the old daze. Guaranteed Jobs, Health Care, Education... And really-really cheap Vodka made from Potatoes! :cool: | ||
