I said it once, and I'll say it again. You sure do your research sandy.
My view on this issue is that I, personally, have considered becoming a premium member, not just for the benefits, but for the pride in knowing that I have helped donate to EMG for keeping this site alive. I personally think that any guy who could take time out of his day and do this is a good guy, and whether his files help me or not, it's nice to see a guy thats not a jerk.

P.S. Good gag sandy with the "Snorting "coffee" through one's nose?" trick. Good job getting loony28 on that one!
[quote="sandy82":/\[url=(https?:\/\/[^\s\[]+):$uid\](.*?)\[\/url:$uid\]/i5749118]How many people are invited out for dinner and then tell the host and hostess that the food could have been more skillfully prepared? Or tell someone at Christmas that he really could have provided something they'd have liked better?
Someone's time and money go into this site. And almost everybody in this thread says they would prefer a female voice...in some or all the circumstances that suit them.
In the meantime, think about a few mundane matters.
--The cost of bandwidth.
--Dollar value of the expertise needed to set up a site like this.
--Time, equaling money, to maintain the site.
--The goodwill to agree to make changes that users ask for.
--Functioning forums/journals, the quality of which Yahoo has never seen.
--Electricity bills.
--Personally purchased computer equipment, editing equipment.
--Time spent writing scripts.
--Years of experience in doing the vocalizations.
Beyond all of that, there's the self-restraint and tolerance. You see a great example of that, a few posts above this one.
Still, I have heard that there's a sexy-sounding hypnotesse whose quality has "improved" during the last two years. I know everyone will be happy to trust her with their name, address, and charge card number. Maybe she has the "Good Housekeeping Seal" branded on her butt. Maybe she mails in plain brown wrappers. Or maybe those of you who live at home can explain to your parents why you're getting a package from Dominatrix DeVonda.
If your credit card number is later used at Fifi's House of Relax in Manila, how can you complain...or explain? Let's see how it would go. "Well, officer, I guess they got the card number after I ordered a penis enlargement CD from a hypnotesse with a P.O. Box in Tijuana." :)
I'm all for "meager attempts" at hypnosis. First of all, they're not meager. Second, they're a damned sight better than meager attempts at thought, gratitude, and--all too often, lately--even self-control.[/quote:/\[url=(https?:\/\/[^\s\[]+):$uid\](.*?)\[\/url:$uid\]/i5749118]
