Does that mean you have a queasy stomach, trembling hands, and it hurts when you pee?

Agreed. That's why I've been mentioning my man crush on JP and the mental movie I have with you and JP spooning. I hope you weren't as offended by my "Everytime Blober comes to town..." joke as JP was. :nutters:

Just a hobby?!? JUST A HOBBY?!?

Is Cantillion just a beer? Is Kate Upton just some chick? Is Canada just a country? (well I guess it is)

You get my point. Just a hobby...geez :mrgreen:

And Disney is just another amusement park right?

Right! That's why I still have my woodburning kit. Because it was such a great fucking hobby!

This isn't about the hobby it's about some people that donate feeling like they aren't getting thier moneys worth.
Honestly, I thought Justin was pretty dismissive of the subject and peoples opinions on the forum and that makes me mad.
I'm not going to "paraphrase" Justin for fear of "taking his words out of context" but after listening to the whole show it left me pretty butt sore.
I cared less about the BN schedule and everything else when I wasn't a donor so maybe I would feel better to be in that catagory again.
I've been out of work for awhile so keeping my monthly donation would be a pretty light trigger pull.
Keep on Brewin'

First, it's a donation, not a purchase of anything. I only worry about getting my money's worth when I buy something. When I donate, I do it with the knowledge that the receiver will use it how they see fit and I have no say in how they use it. If I don't like the organization or what they do with their donations, I don't fucking donate. It's pretty easy. If you don't like the show or don't feel you're getting your money's worth, then either stop your donations or stop listening.

Second, I think Justin was spot on with his assessment and reaction to the bitchy feelings going on here lately. I didn't get a feeling of dismissal from his response. He called it like he saw it. For 8 years they've taken feedback and show ideas from listeners. And for 8 years they've either told us that our input was good or it was shit. Maybe the replies are not on air all the time, but I've never sent an email to a beer caster and not received a reply. And, honestly, what makes you think your opinion matters? Does mine matter? Who gives a shit?

Finally, I'll promote myself to sergeant if they will get some new fucking commercials!!

I have. A couple of bad show ideas with no response. I just assumed they were following the "If you don't have anything nice to say. . ." rule.

Other emails were answered on the air. I just figure that everyone is busy putting on a show and the great stuff bubbles to the top, and my crap kinda sinks to the bottom to be discretely flushed away.

After thirty years of being rejected by women, I know my opinion doesn't matter. :wink:

I can't believe people are moaning about the content and what they are "paying" for. I've been listening since 2009 and am a proud private in the BNA. I spend more money crappy news papers a week than I do on my donation.
