Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ah, thank you! I keep meaning to make an announcement about using it.

Who are current stompies? I think the header is out of date. What skills are needed to be a stompy?

If b.org has a CMS, I could stomp. I have a fair bit of time on my hands and experience in Drupal, Wordpress, and a couple of custom systems.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, we are so not a CMS. Hand-stitched from the deepest layer.

Thread created.

I'm curious about the money the Amazon link brings in as well. I've been doing a fair amount of Amazon buying, and the affiliate link is my toolbar link to Amazon.

Over the past year, we've made as much as much as $93 in a quarter, as little as $16. So it's a good chunk of change!

What are our operating expenses a year?

A little more than $300 -- our hosting is $25/month, and there's some costs for renewing the address and stuff.

Which is amazing -- remember, we used to be on a $100/month plan!

Ann, that's a ferret.

Possibly silly question -- what is our deal with Amazon? What percentage of our purchase goes to the board?

I'm curious about how much I'm contributing by buying things such as Lysine from Amazon.
