    Shame that iT4C has now decided to start charging charities £85 a year to register. I gave a lot of my time for free in the spirit of charitable giving, now they're putting a pound sign on it all. I am sure that the web site and administration of the operation ain't free, but it feels like a kick in the teeth for those of us giving many hours, days and nights disinfecting machines, cleaning up operating systems, fixing domains, web sites and email, properly protecting the computers and generally giving a damn about volunteering - to see this hefty fee get introduced. I don't want to be paid, I don't want to be given recognition or praise, I just feel £85/year is against the spirit of it all.

    maybe the guvurmunt should seek out some worthy IT volunteers to sort out the HNS patients record system and one or two other screwed-up, bloated, $$$$-making guvurmunt IT contracts, especially in these times of, "it isn't our fault, it's a global thing", belt-tightening. I bet the job would be a darn sight better.

    Bucket of win

    If you're involved in any of this, EPIC WINNAGE TO YOU.

    May your other half be multi-orgasmic at your every touch and your wallet a large wheelbarrow of £20s and £50s. Old English blessing, that is.

    Where are the Mods?

    Hour after hour of ceaseless toil moderating chat rooms and forums across the globe, the stress, the abuse, the drama queens and senseless posts of the drunk and deranged in the wee small hours. That's just the staff of course, the members are far more trouble LOL

    So lets hear it for the those countless mods who give their time free of charge to keep the rabble under control.

    Paris.... because she could make any topic sticky
