"He did say he wished the boards were fun like they used to be. " I am sure this is a statement everyone could agree with :yikes:
   
   And  by the way, Charlie, it is "persevering"  :J  

How did I spell it???
  Thank you, I am now embarrassed because I have a trophy for winning the 6th grade spelling bee.
 
  For those that can't see what I fixed, it is a private joke between me and Elisa. Too bad!!!!!!!!
 
 (Sorry, Elisa and I)

Charlie, what did the trophy look like?  Do you still have it?  Is it proudly displayed for your kids to see? (I promise not to tell them about this little slip-up--or the members )

All right ~ I'm not so good at spelling and have no idea how to spell persevere without a dictionary, but I second what Charlie said ~

Thanks Dave!

Well said, Charlie. I appreciate Dave putting up with all of this. And I respect the business decision that HAD to be made last year.

(Sorry, Elisa and I) For those of you who are using the PUT boards to help with home schooling, the correct usage is:  "Elisa and me"
 
This is a common grammatical error. People often get confused on whether to use the subjective pronoun or the objective pronoun when mixing a person's name with I or ME.  An easy test is to use WE or US in the sentance just to check:  For example: Which sounds "right"
 
It is a private joke between WE. (Subjective pronoun)
It is a private joke between US. (Objective pronoun)
 
Most will agree US sounds right, and it is.  So "Elisa and me" is right also.
 
Lesson over....no offense intended.  But I have a feeling that there are a few home schooler teachers on this board who four or five times a day say, "Time for reading lessons.  Let's go check the boards."

 :yikes:  I thought English lessons were oven when I graduated from college.

By the way sentance is really spelled sentence.  :p

and oven is really spelled over LOL :p

I think Kelly should eat before reading the boards.  
 
Thanks for the correction on sentence.  If there was one word I misspell more than any other, that is probably it.  I should make up a little saying like Georgeanne used to make with her son to help him with spelling.
 
"All the sentences in a letter go in an envelope."
 
That will work...all e's in sentences...all e's in envelope.
 
It's never to late to learn.  You can teach on old dog new tricks; it just takes more rewards.  G, what's my reward?

Your name is the only word I EVER dispronounce.

Excellent point Larry.  There were many people who screamed when this happened and attacked Dave viciously, and  others who whined a lot;  some of them left and others stayed and continued to whine for awhile at having to pay.  Others stayed and supported Dave  with total loyalty both financially and verbally and that is why the board continues today.

It has been a wonderful place for people to come and gather and have fun and  discuss camping and other things that interest them.

NightOwl is being very modest. I don't know if anyone else in the membership expended the energy, and finances and moral support to help keep PUT afloat during those times as Elisa did. She was tireless in her support, and was constant in her awareness of those who claimed not to have the money to pay for a membership. She burned up the phone lines with Dave to 'sponsor' those that she felt would like to stay here, and didn't crow about who or exactly how many she quietly paid for. She, and a few others also were loyal behind the scenes, choosing not to patronize those message boards that were formed by disgruntled former PUT members, who went there to complain about Dave's business practices. She never missed a chance to praise the many features of this "family".

 There were others who couldn't wait to grumble about how Dave's idea would fail, and that this wasn't fair, and they were going to go somewhere else. Many of those are suddenly making a triumphant comeback to this board now, and Dave has decided that they are desirable members here.

She hasn't mentioned to you how she left this board for months last year, because of BB and his sarcasm. Angelsmom hasn't come forward to tell you how long it took several of us to talk her into coming back after she was driven away by his attitude toward her. I left, for weeks, and then decided not to let someone who has a grudge against people ruin something that I had come to think of as very important to me. Al, Topcat, wouldn't allow any of to say a bad word about Dave or PUT in his presence, you should ask him what he thinks now.

This isn't about Birol, or about Cindy, and whoever said that we must all take responsibility for our own actions was right. As I said before, I was one of PUT's top cheerleaders, always having lots of good things to say about the magazine and message board. I am now taking the responsibility to hang up my pom poms.
