2007 LugerForum Patrons.....
 

Since we are halfway through 2007, I wanted to take a moment to publicly say thank you!! to the folks listed below... These folks, during the course of 2007 have donated to the operation of the LugerForum (and P 38 & PP-PPK Forums) - and hopefully, I haven't omitted anyone, and you all received a private e-mail of "Thank You!" (well, except Ed.. ;) ) You can figure out who they are, as under their Avatar - they will have 2007 LugerForum Patron

Anyway - to all the 2007 Patrons - THANK YOU!!

Edited by John D. - updated list with new names (7-14-07)... THANK YOU!!!

John D...

As the owner of this domain and the benefactor and provider of the Lugerforum.com as an information and history sanctuary to what is now thousands of Luger enthusiasts and collectors world-wide... I think it entirely appropriate that the same Title appear below your name when you post! :) Or maybe "Lugerforum Patron Emeritus" would be more appropriate! :D

Thanks for everything you do for the Luger community John D.

Hi John and all,

John - honestly? I couldn't - and wouldn't - do it without you and folks just like you.. To all the Moderators, Patrons and users alike - I tip my hat to you. Please know how much I appreciate the support, kind words and encouragement. This Forum, along with the P 38 & PP-PPK Forums are kind of special.....

Frankly, again over the past few days, I've noticed that this site went down for a few hours - and that's not acceptable. So, over the course of the next few weeks, I may be making some changes to this server..

Anyway - just know how appreciated all the support is - to the folks in the list above and all the Moderators - thanks!!

And to John S. ........

:cheers:

My Best to all..!

John

Hi Bill..!

My thanks for your offer of support! Yes - I can be Paypaled at: johnd@rennlist.com Or - you can send me a check (checks have to pass through Jen though - ask Ken D. how long that takes, tho!! :eek: )

Bill, my thanks again!

John D.

John,
Please check your PayPal receipt records for the first week of April, as mine indicate that I made a contribution through PayPal in that time frame.
Thx, Lyn

Hi Lyn!

I am so sorry!! I knew I missed a few folks - and you were one... I apologize!! Here is your new title coming at you :)

Lyn, my sincerest appreciation!

John D.

I knew there was something I forgot to do this year! Paypal sent.

John, Paypal sent. Thank you for everything you do. Bill

Hi folks,

I just updated the list above and added a few more names... My sincerest thanks to each of you!!! (And hopefully, all of you have a thank you note back (well, again - 'cept Ed ;) )..

John D.

Hi

what is the typical range of patron contributions ?

if that is confidential , what is minimum ?

thanks
Bill

There is no minimum (I can speak out of turn, cuz I never get a thank you) :D okay, John thanks me EVERY time I talk to him :o


The way I figure a "donation" is, how often do you visit?

How often have you read something here and saved a $100

How often have you read something and said, dang, I didn't know that? (me all the time... and get corrected 1/3 of the time by Frank, Dwight, Ron, etc, and that is okay :p )


I just know that John pays for all of the computer servers, time and bandwidth from his own pocket ;)


Ed

It is worth every penny. But Ed what about all the money the board has cost me with this "Luger Fever". I tried 12 step but only make it through two, 1- see it 2- Buy it.

In all fairness this board has save me a lot of money and gave more information than some college courses.

Jerry

Hi Tracy (and MFC, who I also added to the list!)..!

Actually, rather - Thank You!! Just checking e-mail today (I had my head in the Gallery Server all morning (http://gallery.lugerforum.com/lugergallery/) replacing a hard drive to a larger format and faster drive without dropping any data (anyone want to know how to resize a Linux ext3 file system - that's the active partition?? ;) )

Tracy, Mike - and all - my sincerest thanks again!

John D.

Hello John,

Payment sent via PayPal. And . . . . thanks a million for your dedicated efforts.

Best Regards,
Luke

Hi Luke,

Sorry for the delayed reply - no good deed goes unpunished, as after I *thought* I had the Gallery updated, it decided it didn't like the new install..?? ;)

Luke - my sincerest thanks!!!

John

ERIC (cirelaw),

John,

I just PayPaled you a stippend to help run this fine site! You don't know how much I'ved learned from my nightly visits! To you and everyone else, keep up the fine work!

Best regards,
Mike:D

Hi Mike,

Just sent you a reply as well.... Thank you so very much!!! It's folks like you who make this site all it has become to so many throughout the world....

Our thanks for that - and your kind and generous donation!

My Best Always,

John D.

I'd like to thank two additional LugerForum Patrons this evening....

G. van Vlimmeren (an annual supporter) and "Mike B", who has supported this Forum twice this same year....

My sincerest thanks!!!

:cheers:

John D.

The list of Patrons is updated as of today... LugerVern - you left me speechless.. Almost... Simply "Thank you"...!!!

You have no idea how much your support, note and generosity are appreciated. Or - maybe you do..

My sincerest thanks....

John D.

John D & John S, I just had the PO return my contribution sent to the address shown above, as undeliverable. Please verify mailing address. Thanks, Tom

well, John S has nothing to do with the monetary part of the forum. Hopefully you did not put his name on it??


John Dunkle OWNS, runs and finances the forum.


John Sabato is a super moderator, which means he doesn't have anything to do physically with the servers that run the forum.

Hi Tom,

Ed, of course is right ;) (don't tell him I said that, tho'!!!).. The correct address is found here:

http://www.lugerforum.com/members.htm

Also - while John S. doesn't live with me or anything, sometimes, I think I should adopt him... Ed, however, has first right of refusal for adoption, unfortunately for John S....

;)

Best to you,

John D.

John, That is exactly the address that I used (as also supplied by John S in a thread above). The only thing that I think may be wrong, is that you only show 3 digits, vise 4, after the normal zip code. I will try it again with just the 03802. Thanks, Tom

The Luger Forum...the best bargain on the internet. Everybody to John D's house for beers.
Big Norm

Hey Norm..!!!

Remember - "if they come, I will build it"..?? Waitaminute - that doesn't sound right?? OK, how about I will come, and you build it"...?? Naww - that's not it - that would be like me coming to your house for beers... OK, how about "we will come - you buy..".. Ahhh - that's the phrase I was looking for... :)

Just as a side note. If you are drinking beer and on this Forum - indeed - you are literally "in my house drinking beer".. :eek: See - all the servers sit in my office, above my garage. The side of my house has (I think - I can count them??) 14 lines coming in.. Everything from Business Fiber, to T1s, to SDSLs, ADSLs, etc... There are a few "dead circuits" (old ones) that are still strung...

Pretty much - if you fly over my house at night - you can pick it out by the warm "glow"....

;)

Seriously - my thanks!!!!! To you Norm and all the folks who have so kindly supported this Forum.. Many of you, for many years....

Best for a WONDERFUL weekend!

:cheers:

John D.
