JimRob has made it clear that just b/c you contribute, it doesn’t give you any sort of special dispensation or trump card. He treats you precisely in the same way as if you don’t contribute.
That trump card you are holding is a Joker.
You miss the point.
Folks who contribute don't do so in order to fund some blogger's business model using FR as free advertising.
Has little or nothing to do with Jim.
Blog pimps are using FR. I don't like it.
It's really quite simple.
