Sadly, this whole ploy sounds like some funny who can "beg the best" here.
I begged, got nowhere, spent mucho dollars here with AG, as a newcomer
On one hand I like the forum, like the store, and I like a whole lotta members here, but I request a better "equality" amongst members here.
Why not have a thread, where the next person who joins gets a perk? A freebie? Some unspecting newbie, out of the sky blue, not some pro or some other, who will seem to further benefit somebody's bank account?
Let's make AG and this forum a kinder, more compassionate and user friendly site, not some dragged out who can beg the best forum. I've grown to totally dislike such, you folks here, Yancy and the rest can do better! I'm somewhat disappointed
