Welcome to Eliteness. It always impresses me with relative noobs come to the site and see the value in supporting the site almost from the get go. Others make thousands of posts taking more than they're giving by a wide margin and then make excuses for not supporting the site. The monetary excuse doesn't wash when you see what they are spending their money on. Even once they decide to support the site, they'll only support the site because there is "something in it for them". I don't get it. This site has saved me thousands through the years. It's money well spent and a small price to pay as you already know.
Welcome to the clique, and Happy Holidays.
