So, more about the July board-a-thon drive. I thought about this a long time. I went back and forth. After all, the annual site subscription isn't too terribly much. So, I didn't really want to offset a few bucks when I could just keep money out of it.
But, then the big issue hit me. Ruben. And, I am sure he will probably get upset with me for even saying this. Sure, I am the face of the board. I would run it for years without one dime. I love AC and I love all the users. Misery loves company at times, and there can be a lot of company. But, for the most part, AC is a great EMR. Compare it with any of the documentation for compensation "big boys" whose progress note for an ear infection is six pages long. But, I digress. Here is the deal. I could pass the reins of Admin to Wendell or Eugene or JBS without skipping a beat. But, you can't have a forum without technical support and someone maintaining it. This is why it is so dependable and smooth and just taken for granted. Everything about the forum is the way most people at UBB Central would design and run it.
Having Ruben, is kinda like having Tom Brady on your little league football team. In the days when he did this for a living, his reimbursement would come in the way of a bill each month. Here. Well, he does it for nothing. Insomuch, that he has never asked for money.
So, while some of the donations or contributions go toward the $300 fee for the forum, the rest goes to Ruben. Up to a point. I really feel that $300 would be the least we could do. And, Ruben doesn't really want any more than that anyway.
We had five contributions within two days. Let's see if we can keep it going.
