twacowfca Posted February 19, 2014 Author Posted February 19, 2014 I'm in as well. :) Yes. Join the A team. :)
LC Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 1% as well. Sanjeev, you're a good man and I love supporting folks that exhibit the characteristics that you embody. Pleasure to know you.
Parsad Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Hi Sanjeev Thank you for putting up such a great message board and I have really benefited from it. I have learned lots and really appreciate you setting this up & all the people on the board willing to share their ideas and thoughts. I have no idea how much it costs to maintain the IT stuff - I just thought with $10,000 that's probably pretty good? Anyway, I thought I make a $500 donation to the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of Canada - doesn't directly benefit the website but for a good cause that you've been promoting and a disease I can relate to. Gary Great stuff Gary...much appreciated! Cheers!
Parsad Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Sanjeev, Have you ever considered adding a 10% fee to the event tickets to raise money to support the board? I doubt many would have an issue with it. This could fix some of the ongoing funding needs as well. Maybe you're already doing this, I don't know. To echo what others have said. I like this board the way it is, keep up the great work! Nate No, all of the excess funds from ticket sales go straight to the CCFC. So after the food, room, prizes, audio/video, etc are paid, every other dollar goes to them. I would prefer to keep it that way. People always have the OPTION of supporting the site through the donation tab. I would rather leave it as an "option", and not as a "tax" on the ticket sales. Cheers!
CorpRaider Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Good show twa! I'm in. I appreciate all the hard work by Sanjeev and the contributions from all (most) of the members.
merkhet Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Donated as well -- I hope to be able to donate more in the coming years.
Philip Morris IV Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Happily joined the 1% club here today. Sanjeev, this is the best community around - much thanks and appreciation for you, and all the members that contribute here. We should figure out a way to donate stock. :) One more thing on your plate Sanj - the COBF Endowment Annual Report. ;D
twacowfca Posted February 20, 2014 Author Posted February 20, 2014 A big hat tip to all the 1 percenters^ And all the higher percenters too. :)
LC Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 I like our 1% club more than this one: http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2014/02/i-crashed-a-wall-street-secret-society.html
gokou3 Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 As soon as I see the opportunity to become a 1%-ers, I can't resist to be a part of it. Thanks Parsad! ;D
Partner24 Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Done. Thank you so much Sanjeev for the board. Frankly, I don't care much about technology, I care more about the people and the content. I was also very happy with it even in previous board. Keep up the good work. ;) Cheers!
Kraven Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 The board is pretty decent but would be a million times better if there was somehow a software solution that would prevent "lol" from being written in the middle of a sentence. It's just so jarring to see things like "I guess the media just doesn't see how great BAC is doing lol and how much their earnings power is." In addition, the software would limit emoticons to 20 uses per person so that if they were going to use one they would really think long and hard about it since they would have limited ones left.

Buffett's punch card approach to emoticons? (This way your post can have a Buffett reference, as is your wont)

Buffett's punch card approach to emoticons? (This way your post can have a Buffett reference, as is your wont) You caught me. It is my wont. Why? I think the difficulty of expressing feelings and emotions through posts and e-mails is very well known and documented… And personally I find emoticons useful… Better to add an emoticon, than to risk others would misunderstand your true meaning… No? Therefore, imo the ones among us who don’t write like Victor Hugo used to, should not be shy or ashamed of inserting an emoticon once in a while! ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) Gio
redhots Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 I am in for 1%. This site is amazing. Thanks.
