FWIW, I was a user of this site for about a year before I gave a donation. This site has saved me so much money, users have been so helpful, and I learned so much, I could no longer in good conscience use it without becoming a supporter.
Funny thing is, I wasn't helped any better after becoming a supporter, and I NEVER see help conditional upon whether someone is a supporter or not. Honestly, This is the best website with the most friendly,helpful users I've ever seen. That's why I ponied up my $.
