Default I appreciate the thought but....

I heard a few was planning a secrete fundraiser to purchase me a computer.

Although I appreciate the thought I will not accept it.
I kinda like working from my Laptop and will have JohnWPA build a computer for me soon.

Thank you,

Greg

You Know Greg, I understand if you choose not to accept the kindness of what was being planned, but the money could have been used for so many other things, such as: being put towards treasure quest itself, or put in the group buys thing or even in one of the contest....or even use it for the first ever Treasure Quest get together treasure hunt. I think I speak for everyone here when I say you have put together a wonderful site for so many people to enjoy, and some of the members just wanted to give a little back.

Yes Indy - I agree. I still think Gregory should get a computer. But if he refuses then it should go toward whatever the site needs.

Way to go Indy. I agree. I think putting it towards a hunt would be good, if Greg does not want to put it towards a PC. How about Greg buying something and auctioning it off towards a group meet and hunt.

If i had known of this, i would of helped out seeing as how i have free long distance calling in the U.S.
Surely you didn't consider these PM's as spam and why would they need to contact you first?

My mind was clouded today because of all of the goings on. I had to take action against another member and that always hurts but its for the best.

Anyhow I'd like to thank all who were involved I know that took some love and I appreciate each and every one of you.

Greg

Default We appreciate you

Gregory I hope you realize how much entertainment you provide for a lot of folks here at TQ and that some of us really do appreciate it. I have ran web sites before and I know this is not an easy job and a lot of dang work. Please don't hesitate to take a little help, we wouldn't do it if we didn't want to. We are always talking about the Treasure Quest family, families stick together and help each other out. Let us help you out on this one buddy.
