As long as we've got Shawn in the thread, I'd like to throw out a thank you. DP has become my main stomping grounds for business and otherwise, and despite the revenue the forum might produce, keeping an immense project like this online can't be easy. In fact, I think I'll donate right now!
Because there are loads of people out there like myself and couldn't honestly say to themselves that I'd be in the same place I am now if it was for the wonderful people on these forums, and guys like Shawn for providing such a wonderful meeting place along with his wonderful tools that are FREE! That is why you SHOULD donate. LOL but you should be saying that because the information that is bounced around these forums along with its tools are priceless. Wonderful forums Shawn! Keep up the great work!
Its not Shawn who should say that. The members here should have at least some mind and thinking to guess it
