Can we PLEASE change the title to "The Data ARE what the data ARE?

 

The incorrect case (plural) with the singular verb is driving me nuts.

This has been discussed previously. Refer to the Chicago Manual of Style, and you'll see that the rule we learned in school about the verb tense to use with "data" has evolved such that now either tense is completely acceptable.

It's okay, if you need to watch your own bottom line right now! I know I speak for Kesslar, too, when I say each of us should do only what we can. I'm at a place in my life where helping out is no sacrifice. I don't mean to shame anyone. I appreciate your comments and understand your situation.

 

I pledged $25 a month to Daddy and have not contributed yet. I would never let Steven down, so I will send a check for six months tomorrow or Saturday.

 

My issue has been some minor health problems, Steven.

This site just keeps giving to me. I've had wonderful support and advice as I came out, had a fabulous gay weekend in Palm Springs with the gang, had the pleasure of helping some others and most recently got some help with saving on prescriptions and listing some talking points for both my doctors and my loving escorts to make my sex life better. Add in the daily pleasure of interacting on the Forum and it is easy to see that Daddy's little cyber group is one of the most important parts of my life. How much is this worth? For me it's worth a modest monthly donation to keep the Forum solvent.

 

What about you? P!ease think about the value one receives and consider a pledge of whatever you can afford. See this thread for a very detailed discussion, banking suggestions and addresses. Thank you!

Good Morning, I have never contributed to this forum before but feel like I need to under this subject as there are probably more guys like me than you think. I hire regularly but not as much as I visit the site. It is a regular hit for me each morning and has been for years. When looking at someone new to hire, first site I hit. Look at my credit card bill, there is the Sean Cody charge, there is the Corbin Fisher charge. I have no problem with a Daddy's Review charge.The value here is not something a lot of guys would brag about a Costco membership, but I think you might be surprised with how many people enter there credit card information to continue to enjoy this terrific site.

Nope if you make a donation in 2016 you get to be a 2016 supporter. However, I sometimes have to kick the machinery to get the icon to show up. See if it shows up on your next post.

 

Thank you so much for the donation if I haven't said it already; It's probably in my todo pile.

 

is the "thumbs up" icon only for those on a monthly plan....or for anybody who has sent anything in?.....I made my annual donation a couple or three month ago, by the way.....

I pay monthly charges for a few adult sites. I have tired of most of them and can find similar content on line these days for free. I would rather make a $20 monthly donation to this site since it is infinitely more valuable and entertaining. I should be in a position to make a lump sum contribution in June when my bank account is due for an infusion of cash.

On this topic, I suppose I like to think of it in investment terms.

I spend a fair bit of money buying time and I'd like the best return possible on that investment. By having the data available here upon which I can make much-better informed decisions I am more able to make larger investments in time which will be richly rewarding and lesser investments in time which will yield a poor return.

In other words, I can better answer the question I always ask myself: "How am I likely to feel after spending time with this person."

 

Improving my ability to accurately answer that question is absolutely worth a "research" expense.

I haven't read all the prior posts but I hope this will be helpful.

 

Most of the posts I've seen have presented one or two options. My public radio station works differently. Why not "all of the above"? People can send checks, make donations by credit card, debit card, or PayPal. You can make a one-time donation or a recurring monthly credit or debit card donation. About the only limit is that automatic monthly charges have to be at least $15.00. Would this be any more complicated than setting arequired amount?

 

You can skip the premiums - and PLEASE skip the pledge drives! A banner on the home page with a "donate" button should be ample.

 

I'm with the posters who don't think any donation should be required to use the site.
