As outlined above, my wife requires better availability of web connectivity and I can provide same at a much lower annual expenditure.
And nobody is stopping you from doing so, so go do it.
I also suggest you read the info on the FR Homepage. There are no promises made and you or your wife's connectivity requirements don't mean jack.
BTW, there is a link to the budget on the Homepage.
Any inherently competent community would require same.
If you think <99% (or 99.99%) system availability is acceptable, your understanding of current web capabilities is severely lacking.
Donate the equipment then, or the money for it, if it’s so damn important to you.
Or start your own site. Nobody is holding you captive here.
Country Clubbers may have made their peace with corporatism and a paternalist socialist state, but they were patriotic Americans. The current set of transnationalists have New Left beliefs.
Question Mr. “P”...
You’ve invested (donated) money to Jim and HIS website, right???
If so, I’m sure you could have, and should have raised this concern of yours in a thread of your own...
If not, then I am sure you really don’t have much credibility to critisize the technical/mechanical operations of Free Republic then, right???
I’m jus sayin’...
I actually don’t believe you should be banned, but if you are, your attitude/tone to those calling you on this nonsense (you started) is on you, not us...
We would have cetainly empathised with you on your concern if you had taken this to another discussion thread started by you...
I’m sure if anyone had interjected something off the OP’s thoughts, you probably would have had some heartburn about that...
Why are you being such a horses arse about this??? Is it simply because someone else called you on your usurpation of this thread...Just curious...
Nonsense? Why would the (formerly, according to some) premiere Conservative Website have a design that has less than 99% availability?
Why do sycophants think that that the current design/execution is acceptable for a budget of ~$400k/yr?
Where is the budgetary transparency?
Have you considered that you may have anal-retentive tendencies?
I don't have the time to devote to a website that claims to be representative of the best that the private sector can achieve but is not quite so.
There is nothing that can't be improved. FR has a ways to go in improving its functionality. It's not Rocket Science ;-).
My point is that I do better at home than FR does - given that it is no longer the hobby it was initiated as.
Anally retentive??? Really??? Is that what you’ve reduced yourself too??? Okey dokie...
You never answered the question, therefore, it is clear you never donated to this website in any significant form or fashion, so, since YOU do not like the performance, by all means go start yourself your own website...I wish your burden to be light in that endeavor...
Bye...
