    Yep, way to go!

    50 points away for me, otherwise I'd have done it. I still use it for the marketplace when absolutely needed, which is becoming increasingly less necessary.

    We should all chip in and send Drew a pair of underwear with "Motor On" on the back. It's the least we can do; he'll need to change his when he sees that post on the holy sewing site.

    Yeah, a MANA T-Shirt would be a great addition to the Swag shop at some point, maybe a commerative shirt next April 1st.

    A MANA T-shirt with "Motor On" on the back, oh my....

    Not at all. MA-NA.us is not Comcast. We don't buyout the competition then raise rates.


    BTW, in cause you did not notice we are using the .US top level for the new site. Not only to celebrate the location where the majority of members are domiciled, but to show how inclusive we are.

    No reply or removal by NAM? The other post by "Bite-my-nam-inator" has been censored with the typical *********'s. like no one knows this website address or that it exists. I find it comical.

    Yeah, this is true, but only if we get to 5,000,000,000 T-Shirts. Only 4,999,999,975 to go.
