    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

    I have seen lately that some issues that I consider to be personal are brought into BOI and other threads. To me this is not acceptable. For 1, I do not have the time to read 30++++ minutes of personal grievances to get the the "meat" of the business issue. For 2, Common courtesy would just...
