Arioch I think everyone has a friend like that, I know I have one who when it is his turn to buy drinks he has no money, leaves before sometimes i am even suprised at the lengths and excuses he will go to not to have to stump up the cash.

Arioch Thinks sometimes the best thing to do is go out and leave them to it. I would much prefer to see a neat tidy finish job then the mess they make whilst doing it!

Some people try to argue taxation is voluntary anyway, but that is not the scope of this question. You can even take it one step further: If you did "donate" and could ear-mark where the money went, what would you put it toward?

federal government

taxation

Arioch Try telling the tax man or IRS that tax is voluntary! I dont think most people mind paying tax its just where it goes too not many people want to fund wars or politicians lifestyles, though in defence of them if the lifestyle didnt offer perks would they get...

Arioch Hadn't realised they had scrapped the transitition fee and only select one article, so what do they do with the other articles now just reject them and leave them off the helium site? I suppose you can still add them for RS

Arioch Whilst I'm not personally a channel manager I can see a small improvement in the articles that you get asked to rate. As a channel manager can you actually delete really bad/poor articles or is there more to it then that? The old systems was flawed, though to...

Arioch Some publisher bought your article to appear elsewhere and they give you $5 for it. They can select any of your articles old and new, its a nice little bonus every now and then.
