EDITED

You guys are awesome. Weephun, I'm sorry I couldn't get the campaign propaganda printed up for you... hey everyone, if you love Lt. weephun enough to send him to San Francisco, I hope you love (or have loved) him enough to cast your vote for him! IMO his would be kind of a puppet government, but who cares? Hell, I'd vote for you IRL, dude.

It is uncomfortable for me to have to say this, but...

I understand how frustrating it must be to be unable to attend the events, but I must ask people not to request financial help. Giving to weephun was, I think, a special exception for most beekeepers -- he didn't ask, and it was a burst of spontaneous generosity toward someone that has been a very active member of the forums, gotten lots of press time, and been (I think) unfairly kicked around for his involvement in the SP's capture.

NOT that you all aren't special as well -- but I think that if we set up Help Funds because people request help, we're going to get a lot more people who also need and want help. Where are we all supposed to draw the line? How do we decide who "deserves" to go and who doesn't?

I don't think there's a whole lot of money to go around here.

But I cannot in good conscience give to anyone else and then deny the requests that will inevitably follow, and neither can I (or anyone else around here) afford to finance all the beekeepers who deserve to go. So I'm going to put my money where I think it will benefit the greatest number of people.

I am truly sorry if you're unable to attend and I wish they'd decided to hold a greater number of events.

Don't forget to save some for getting souveniers for other good beekeepers who can't make it also.

Wow. I'm so late.

But still. Wow.

Best.

Community.

Ever.

You deserve it, weeph. Go get 'em, El-Tee! (military slang for Lieutenant)

I understand; I was never under that impression but I can see how it looks like I was, er, unduly soliciting. Post edited.

I just sent ya' 10. You've gotta eat so you might as well eat well while you're there having the fun some of us couldn't make.

Yah, Jaw initially PMed me offering to pay the entire amount. After checking to make sure I hadn't been dreaming when I read that, I told him that was not necessary as others had already started to contribute and I didn't want to waste anybody's money or kindness by overshooting just what I needed. He apparently then must have checked how much was still lacking at the time and donated accordingly.

Either way, yes, he is amazing, and yes, you all rock!!

Wow.

What an incredible community.

Damn time zones - I would have been happy to contribute £10 to this to help Weephun out (and so that I could take part by proxy.)


Absolutly stunning result that leaves me feeling good about the world.

Thanks to all that contributed.

And to Weephun - have fun for me! Meephun!
