    1. Having the ability to help someone through a terrible time, see the love and support given by fellow fans and know it made a difference.

    2. See the incredible generosity of fellow fans and see that even peeps who don't have much can and will come out in support when major disasters strike.

    3. Again, nice to know when a fellow fan is in need, this community rallies to their cause and as others donate PJ related stuff, some folks score a coveted item and are beside themselves. A win-win, really.

    4. Comedic relief. I mean really, who hasn't come on here when having a shitty, shitty day to either laugh out loud at something they read, smiled because of the generosity being shown or been uplifted by a PM from someone you never met and may only know as an avatar and writing style?

    For less than a dollar per week you get all of this and then some. If you're not a member, you ain't living.

    Hey man, I think I met you once, gave you a ride to the airport from the Hamilton 2011 show. Nice to see you on the boards!

    So you can set an event in your calendar on Record Store Day, login, make a purchase, and have it cancelled without notice or explanation because they ASSume you're flipping.

    I generally buy 4-5 copies of each release. I put them up on my wall as art and play one - haven't sold a single one. It's outstanding how they value their members; if they were actually concerned about flippers, they'd just limit the number of records you could buy per membership - not cancel orders.

    Poor form - unsure whether I will continue to be a member.

    So you think they purposely and knowingly cancelled your order after the fact because they felt they had evidence of your past purchase history as a "flipper"?

    Yep - they said they would do it in the terms of the sale. I get it in theory - I do - I just think it's a bit disingenuous to allow people to make multiple orders if flipping is a concern, and then cancel orders if you have made multiple purchases because they're assuming that you're flipping. 10c is great, but some of their practices create frustrating, seemingly unfair, results. I get that they're piloting the boat and set the course, and put a lot of work into it in the process, but being excluded from a limited release as a 10c member was a bummer and seemed rather arbitrary (again, I get the logic, but disagree with the practice).

    I saw them from the 3rd row pit in Moline last fall
    I think I'm good, I don't see a reason to be in 10c anymore.
    Why are you in it?

    If your going to post a final "farewell" to the boards..please wait a week or so and let big bank hank have his moment...we'll miss you though. Who else will bring old threads back to life??

    good question. I don't know. 87XXX and it has done nothing for me in the past 7-8 years.
    I'll probably think much harder on it when my membership comes up this time. Hate to lose the number but it really does nothing anymore.

    I betcha it will at some point in the future. When the band is in their twilight, your number will probably come in real handy.

    Hey man, I think I met you once, gave you a ride to the airport from the Hamilton 2011 show. Nice to see you on the boards!

    Why, yes, yes indeed! Finally put a forum name and avatar with a face and a generous offer. I hate taking the bus. Anywhere. See, here's another reason. Hope you're well and thanks again for the ride!!

    PS: Man, do we ever need a tour again! In North America.
    that's the thing about H2TM....he's a total mooch...he drank all my good beer in Missoula.
