Ted's been a keen and apparently substantial supporter of Tighar by all I can tell in the forum and by his generous offer to send me to the early hearings in Wyoming to support Ric and Tighar.  Mirth is one thing, but it seems Tighar could use the goodwill of guys like Ted.  Isn't your remark a tad sharp, considering that?

As I said to you in a private message already this morning, I have noted your criticism of my post.

Even though I am the server administrator and the person who set up and maintain this Forum, I'm a little uncertain as to exactly what time Ted made his posts.  My personal timezone settings may affect this view, too.

It seems to me that Ted asked his two questions within an hour of each other sometime in the wee small hours of this morning:

« Reply #152 on: Today at 12:22:34 AM »

« Reply #153 on: Today at 01:19:03 AM »

I replied seven hours later:

« Reply #154 on: Today at 08:09:01 AM »

My guess is that Ric is busy with more important matters than reading the Forum this morning.

I didn't get see (notice did not show up before, but it's there) the PM from you, sorry.

Ted's timing and seeming insistance have nothing to do with an onlooker's take away from an untoward reply.

I see Ric has replied and I am glad.  That said, it was also not my point to question how busy he was, merely how the response was effected.  By whom is not so important as how, in my view.

Good manners are not costly but can bring much goodwill.

Thanks, Ric, for a very nice reply.

Wow! There was a massive eruption on the sun the other day and it only took this long to reach earth.. northern lights, huge storm in the Pacific, a solar eclipse and a toxic burst of energy all in one week!!
All kidding aside and for what its worth from this teeny tiny contributer, I am proud to be a part, no matter how small, of this assembledge of minds and expertise, the likes of which we will probably not find anywhere else. Everybody is OK. Everybody is acting in a predictable manner, and we all will get "there" at the right time.

So, what did the solar flare have to do with TIGHAR?

You're right.  We didn't do the solar flare and we had nothing to do with the storm.  We did the northern lights and the eclipse just for fun.

Did we ever get anything from the Amazon Smile program? I know I've been ordering some stuff through there that credits TIGHAR.

What is Amazon Smile program?

About AmazonSmile:

"AmazonSmile is a simple and automatic way for you to support your favorite charitable organization every time you shop, at no cost to you.

Thank you Ted.  If we reduce the number of days on-site from 14 down to 7 (one week instead of two) it lowers the total budget from $350,000 down to $268,000.  Counting your recent contribution, the total raised and pledged is $269,784.  In other words, the expedition is definitely on!  The question now is whether we can raise another $80,216 to bring our time-on-site up to the originally scheduled two weeks.

Have all of the $50,000 slots been taken? If not, time for everyone to rattle all available cages, contacts, etc.
