Hi Paul, I haven't and will not put try to put a value on CPs's time. I said out of pocket - cash. The web hosting stuff. I can't say that we all do stuff for free, but I certainly do. All the time and I am glad to. Whether it's P&P marshalling, giving advice to members via PMs which I do a lot, helping out local groups in relation to safety etc etc. I don't cost that out, it's free. I don't cost out the wear and tear on my truck pulling out other less fortunate drivers all weekend long, or people stuck in the snow. But someone wants a favour that is going to cost me money, then I may well ask for that back. My effort is for free.
Ok this isn't a pissing competetion, but you aksed a fair question and I'm replying. It's not up to me to suggest what I pay Crispin, it's for him to tell me what he wants. And he just has. That's nice and clear. He's not said anything about the hours he puts in and how he misses his family. It's about costs.
All I want to do is look at the angles. We know each other and if we need to dig down and sort something that's fine I guess. But when people come along who we don't know and they cough up, what can they expect? What WILL they expect? I asked a question and I haven't had a reply, what am I getting for my money? Banned I shouldn't wonder ha ha. Again, I haven't said no, we shouldn't. I am saying let's discuss it and get the right outcome.
