Because of Nomad and the people here, there have been great contributions to Mexican charities.
I think Nomad is worth keeping on the Internet, and I want Doug to not have to struggle with a decision between keeping Nomad online or food for his
family. I only suggested an occaisional donation from those who appreciate the site and maybe don't buy BajaBound insurance or buy from the Tienda
Baja Nomad or click on the ads by Google. I suggest no pressure, no pointing fingers...
"if i had to pay to use this forum i'd be enjoying my time elsewhere."
Are you serious? You don't get cigars for free do you?
You suggest people pay Baja Bush Pilots just to read their forum, even if they are not pilots...
I just don't believe in 'welfair' if one is able to contribute to a site they use and enjoy. There is no free lunch, someone, somewhere pays for all
of this.

dk,
Businesses that rely on donations are usually non-profits -- and make disclosure of finacial operations. Why would someone donate to an organization
that doesn't have open books?

DK,
There appears to be a huge capacity on the board to provide for condescending remarks and lack of spelling, punctuation and grammar skills. It
certainly does have its upside!

Just how old do you have to be to be an old geezer? Or is it like a vehicle not the year it was made but the roads it was driven down?

When I was a young man I was prematurely dirty. Now that my hair is gray, I have finally grown into it. Geezer? Wahl..........I'm not sayin'.

"geezer"-------synonym "gummer"-----
"gee" from the latin word meaning "gazillion"------
and "zer" from the German slang for "years" -------
Put them together and you have the definition of "geezer".
Taken as a group, it is generally accepted that "geezers" rule!!!!
Taken individually, a "geezer" is a prince to be honored and respected, and sometimes given alms too.
Therefore, I expect no more irreverance directed towards "geezers" on this board.
Agreed???

funny thing is i have not seen anything from the man himself stating he is in financial trouble or needs to solicit donations to keep this web site
intact.
wouldn't he be more vocal here if he intended to ask for and accept contributions? without that validity i read any cheerleading on this subject to be
preaching to a choir and simple fawning.

Hmmmm... Baja Bush Pilots requires $49/ year just to look at their message board even if you never post there. Last time I looked Capt. Mike, you are
one of the top posters here on Nomad... yet, you stated earlier that if Doug actually did what Bush Pilots has done, you would leave... ?
Sure, BBP (Baja Bush Pilots) is the ultimate source for flying info... But BN (Baja Nomad) is the ultimate source for most all other Baja info. When
you fly to Baja, you do other things when you get there... Baja Nomad is the place to learn about all those other things!
Doug is a very modest man, and doesn't toot his own horn, yet does a lot of work to promote Baja via this web site... I (on the other hand) get very
excited about Baja and enjoy sharing my excitement with others and that includes promoting web sites, books, and activities that would be of interest
to people who also get excited about the peninsula. Because of my excitement (call it 'big mouth' if you want) and what I do, a lot of people have
discovered new things about Baja, have got to meet each other, have started activities to help the people of Baja, and have joined Baja Nomad.
Silence doesn't go very far in getting the word out... What is it you call your Baja plane, 'Screaming Airlines'? After I flew with you in 2001, I
posted photos, made a web page and talked positive about the experience. I wanted you to always be available to offer flights to Baja... the more it
pays the better the odds are you will continue to do it.
You guys want XXXXL Nomad tee shirts and other stuff and Doug would like to provide it, however he refuses to accept orders until he has product in
stock... I have suggested he take orders (like other companies do) and ship in 30-45 days, etc. (once they have funds to buy the items to sell you).
Despite what you think Mike, the income from this site is pretty small and not enough to allow Doug to do all the stuff he would like to or stock all
the odd and jumbo size shirts many are waiting for.
Is $25-$50 per year so hard to do for all the fun and info. Baja Nomad provides? The cost of one meal at a restaurant... one meal vs. 365 days of Baja
on the Internet!?
I want Doug to have lots of reasons to keep Nomad alive and well... getting a financial 'thank you' is a pretty good reason... It is why we who work
go to our jobs when we would rather go to Baja... right?

Woody, it was a way of my humoring the situation on the shirts... Doug has shirts in stock, but not the really big ones or kiddy sizes... The size
comment was not targeting Capt. Mike... I am quite a bit oversize myself (darn that good Baja food and beer) and have moved up to XXL (my God!).
Really, I am going to reverse that trend... I am, I am, I am!!!

Lot's of ways to support Doug. I personally like hosting my websites on his servers. Did so for many years. I even bought hosting accounts and
never used them.
I had to move my big site off his server because the web person i was working with gave me a package deal I could not refuse....felt terrible about
it but Doug was very gracious about the whole thing.
I am sure i will be using his services again in the near future.
Good way to support a fellow nomad, support their private enterprises. the whole buy local concept.
