patricklavoie Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I come to Photo Net for the past 4-5 years. I enjoy it and i like the way it is.I became a member couple years ago and i think, by paying my subscription iwould help Photo Net staying alive (maybe they dont need my help?! but i like tothink they do) for many years. That say, for this xmas i would like to offer 4one year subsription as a gift to people who dont have one. For those of you whocame here, ask questions...and are not paying yours for whatever reasons ;) I will pick 4 random name from this post December 25 2007. Simply put your namein this post, no reason ask, pure chance if you got picked. Thats my way of showing my appreciation to this forum, and to make my world abetter one...imagine if you had the chance to offer something to a perfectstranger, how happier would you feel after! Mery Xmas, Anuka, Noel, Feliz Navidad and any other celebration you mightcelebrate in advance to all of you :) Patrick Lavoie / photo retoucher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hakon_soreide Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 That's a great offer. I am a subscriber, so don't include me in your Christmas draw. I just had to say it's nice of you =). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dickhilker Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 As a fellow paid subscriber, Patrick, I'd just like to say that your generous spirit has shone all year with the time and effort you've brought to this forum. Your tutorials and suggestions have helped many of us, I'm sure. Have a warm and wonderful Christmas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bernardwest Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Very generous Patrick. Please don't include me in your list, as I will get around to subscribing myself one of these days. I hope I don't come across sounding bad here, but I wonder if it would be better to give that money to people who really need it. Why not pick your favourite charity and give it to them?

ksp Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 WOW! That's almost as nice as the guy who runs around on the street giving out 'FREE HUGS'! (I think he was on Oprah! LOL). Merry Christmas to you and yours Patrick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheldonnalos Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I'll toss my hat in the ring. I've always considered myself a contributor and have only asked maybe one or two questions out of my hundreds of posts, so the guilt level on my part has been relatively low. I figure if I remain a valuable contributor, that will create a greater incentive for others to subscribe! ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_j._weber Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Patrick, you have my nomination for Photoshopper of the year. Bernie West Did you have to throw a wet blanket?

patricklavoie Posted December 17, 2007 Author Share Posted December 17, 2007 Bernie_ I also give to breast cancer, kid research and a shelter for homeless, cause that touch me in a way but i didtn think it was important to say it before offering a gift. I decide to give a GIFT to 4 totaly stranger just because...i can. Glad people like the idea. Please dont lapidate Bernie for is suggestion ; ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bernardwest Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Ok, i'm a party pooper... I don't know what "lapidate" means, but it sounds bad! Please don't do it:) Anyway, it's good to hear you give to charity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William Kahn Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I think "lapidate" means "stone" as a verb, in the Biblical sense. Yeah, it would be bad.....;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
