A letter from Mikey and Don

[ezdays]

Gentlemen,

    I (probably like most members) would love to help.  What are the net operating expenses for the year?  (Trying to figure out how much we have to raise).

Thanks, I was hoping you would, we kind of need to keep our operating expenses out of public view, but let's just say that it's in the many hundreds. Keep in mind, neither Mike or I, or any of the moderators take even a nickle, it all goes to keep Big Blue running and every year it goes up. We do our best to find or negotiate the best deals we can find, so we spend what we have wisely. We are asking to get as much as we can and if it's more than we need for the next renewal, fine, then we won't have to bother anyone in the near future, so we are not setting a goal. You would be proud of us the way we've handled our finances over the years, and just how we run Big Blue, we are very pleased how well it's gone with no ads or sponsors.
