damn, i was just kidding. i haven't taken any potshots at you in awhile. in fact, if you dig back far enough you would realize that i had posted that i think you will fit in just fine here. but now i am realizing that you really are just a self impressed firebrand. i think you actually enjoy trolling for flamefests.

as far as the cellar being a business? i don't know - you would have to ask someone who matters around here. to the best of my knowledge UT provides this playground for us out of the kindness of his heart. (although if he did accept donations, many of us would gladly contribute).

if you stay or go, doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things. having said that, i would encourage you to pull the stick out of your ass and realize that sometimes people just like to yank your chain. it isn't until you overreact and start lashing out that people really start digging in and taking cheap shots. the cellar has a lot of people that post. most people read a lot and post a little. some of us have jobs that allow us to keep an eye on it through out the day. from what i understand the cellar always slows down in the summer but picks up again in the fall. (something about getting cold and driving all those northerners inside )

as far as lumping me, sycamore, and wolf in together... well thanks. i couldn't really ask for much more here in the cellar... but if you stick around and relax a little, you will realize that the 3 of us have no more in common with eachother than we do with everyone else here, or even you for that matter. we are all just folks who drop in to bounce ideas (and sarcastic humor) off each other. sometimes we have great threads with thought provoking discourse... other times we have someone pick a fight and egg a flamewar on. it's all good.

so in conclusion - Step one - remove stick. Step two - enjoy yourself. Step three - understand that we are all equals here. well except for Jaguar (forgive for saying the name without genuflecting)

Welcome to the cellar garnet - care to start over - all of our slates come with really good erasers here.

Hey, Lookout! We all know that beneath that hardened exterior there beats a heart as black as coal! But I actually kind of like you in a wierd way. I like Garnet, too. And Lady Sycamore is way cool, so Syc must have SOMETHING going for him. Jag has that wonderful arrogance of youth going for him plus he's actually pretty damn sharp. And Wolf - well, Wolf is the finest pusher of my buttons that I've encountered on the net. So let's all have a group hug, put on our leather jackets and go have a big steak dinner in honor of LJ's memory. I hear UT is paying!

Now I'm kinda worried that UT isn't getting paid for being the boss around here! Surely the guy deserves at least six figures for putting up with this crap....

He used to have the donate via paypal thing at the bottom of the pages, but with the new system I don't see it now. I guess its something to ask Tony about and see if it got left off by accident, or if the new system doesn't support it, or if he's just not doing that anymore.

Good point! There used to be a PayPal tip jar at the bottom of the front page but I don't see it now. Maybe it got lost in the upgrade or maybe in the terrorist^^^^^^^^^ big crash. UT, can you bring that back? Lookout123 wants to contribute, and maybe garnet will too.
Man, I gotta learn to type.

I just posted a thread in the user comments and suggestions asking UT to let us know what happened to the tip jar.
