Gents,
I hope this doesn't tick anyone off too badly, and if it does, I apologize. It's not my intention to offend, nor to start a prolonged debate.
Each year, there's a fundraiser for the list servers -- the service that the Aeroelectric list and others reside on. Well, no disrespect to the guys that run the service but I thought I'd get in an idea too: why don't we all send a few bucks in the direction of Bob Nuckolls for a change.
Bob gives us insights and information, along with personal instruction and individual system designs for pretty much anything we throw at him, practically every day of the year. His contribution to flight safety in the OBAM world is immeasurably high, and to each of us individually, it's invaluable.
I can't begin to imagine how much this would have cost if I'd gone to my local avionics shop and asked them for all this good stuff. So, this Christmas I'm going to dispatch a bunch of dollars Bob's way as a small token of thanks, and I'll be happy to do it.

Thanks so much for the thoughts and the offer my friend. I am
very pleased that you find real value by participating
here on the AeroElectric-List. May I offer some
expanded thoughts into your deliberations for
discretionary expenditures?
Most folks are not aware of the return on investment
that I receive for my own participation. My craft
depends on sifting though a lifetime of
experiences and observations, to recall past
recipes for success, to craft new ones and often
time to analyze how an existing recipe failed.
It's the constant exercise of a skill that keeps
it sharp, useful and ever growing. Not being employed
at it full time increases the risks of having those
skills get away from me.
The AeroElectric-List and folks that participate
on it are a good and valuable substitute for a
challenging full time job. Please believe me,
your participation is just as valuable to me as
my participation is to you.
At the same time, let us be ever mindful of
the infrastructure that makes it all possible.
There are dozens of list-servers on Matt's system
that cost real time dollars to craft, maintain
and operate. That hardware represents a kind of
oxygen that we never think about breathing while
we enjoy the conduct of our various associations
on the Lists.
I've committed AEC time and resources to Matt's
fund raising endeavors and I hope everyone here
on the list will do likewise. No amount is too
small but heftier amounts go a long way toward
keeping the lights on, the hard drives spinning
and that high speed connection hooked up.
It's sorta like the Oshkosh experience where
the half million or so folks who go to enjoy
what happens there tend to take nothing away
but good memories and leave nothing behind but
their footprints. It's about as trash free
an experience as you'll ever enjoy. I'll suggest
that Matt's servers are the "Oshkosh of the Lists"
and deserving of the same appreciation, respect
and support as we freely offer for what happens
on Whitman Field.
If anyone is feeling inclined to invest
some cash in their list-server experiences, it should
go to maintenance of the environment where
it all happens. Know also that my needs and
rewards for being here do not suffer for lack
of cash and are being intellectually satisfied
by your honorable participation.
For that I thank you all . . .
Bob . . .

Hear, hear! I agree with Sandy. With all respect to Mr. Nuckolls followup post gracefully declining the offer, I would have to say Bob is the single most valuable OBAM resource I know on the Internet. Web sites and email lists come and go, Bob's advice is priceless. How do we send a token of thanks?

If you simply must defy Bob's direct guidance, you might consider
contributing to his enterprise by purchasing whatever quantity of The
AeroElectric Connection publication suits your conscience and spreading
the knowledge around your local aviation community.
For example, a shiny new one for yourself, one to contribute to your
favorite EAA chapter library, one to have on the shelf to gift a budding
builder who comes to admire your project, etc.

I want to take this opportunity to voice my
sincere gratitude to you and Matt for this great forum. I have received
many times over the contributions made to the list.
Thanks, and a Happy Holiday Season to you,
Roger

Good idea my friend! I could go for that. I do
offer mini-cases of the printed 'Connection at
the same price that teachers and my dealers pay.
If folks would like to give a material boost to
the grand scheme of things, purchasing a mini-case
of books to hand out to fellow enthusiasts or
curious young minds would have my whole-hearted
approval.
If folks can't go for a mini-case, order multiple
single copies and put "hand-outs" in the comments
box at the bottom and I'll give you the same per/copy
price.
See the Catalog page of the website.
