Hey everyone, I just wanted to bring to attention that this site has really developed!! I remember when there wasn't nearly as much stuff here
and the change is incredible!
Mike, maybe you should consider those 5 cents per click sites? 
Haha!
Well done Mike! **salutes**

I was thinking along the same lines, and I was wondering if we can all contribute something towards the cost of maintaining this wonderful site.
I'm sure it's costing Mike something to put it up so I think it's fair to share the load. Strictly on a volunteer basis.
I know Mike is not looking to make money, but he's shouldering all the costs.
I know it's a sensitive subject, but there's enough of us now that would make it painless. I know Mike would be too embarassed to talk
about, because of the type of guy he is, and because of our Middle Eastern traditions and values, but I feel he's doing too much.
What do you guys think ?

I'd be up for some kind of contribution.

I was actually referring to those add-ons that are free of charge and all the people that click on the website afterwards gets Mike 5 cents per
click!
But hey! I don't mind making a contribution!!

Hey guys,
Yeah, starting tomorrow, this site is gonna be a pay site! 
Just kidding. 
Nadir, Spyros, and Lee...I appreciate your offers and thanks for even thinking to contribute monetarily. But there's no need for that really.
What makes me happy is the contributions that everybody makes to help one another and share their thoughts and ideas about the instrument we all
admire so much in the interactive sections of this website. Keep contributing this way, and we are all good! By the way, nice instruments Spyros.
Thanks for sharing them with us on the file sharing page.
Take care fellas,
Mike
