I would. Then I'd move to JMA and look for new music at RYM, I don't care.

The question would make more sense if it was for 1000$.... in this day and age, who the hell will give up 12000 dollars for... anything, much less for posting in a forum?

Though it would be sad.

The wife has, but for sexual favors rather than US dollars.

I hear tell the British exchange rate is comparable for those as well.  Geek

That explains why after a perfectly satisfying Monday morning romp, she went twice in the evening and I didn't get to go at all!  Angry

Would this be to just leave the forum, or to leave the site entirely?

Five bucks.  I'm mainly here out of spite anyway.

Speaking of favors, Dean, I have one to ask of you. 

Guess I better take it to PM.  Wink

That's not very much money at all... but if it will cease my addiction to this website then yes please!

How about $1 per post? That way someone who hasn't posted can't make a dime.  What's a fair compensation for reviews? LOL

Perhaps a more difficult question would be this.
 
How much money would it take to make you give up listening to all music for the rest of your life??  $12K, less, more?

I've thought about this ... and for now I think my answer is, no I would not. I could use $12K (who couldn't) but there are other methods I can use to get $12K. They may take longer, but money is ultimately a fluid thing that comes and goes and is easily replaceable. 

Then again, the people and info from PA have spread beyond this websites boundaries to places like lastfm, facebook, and listening room, so maybe it wouldn't be such a big deal.

The logistics of this are challenging what with music playing in public places, friends playing music when you are around, etc...

But to never be in control of the music I hear and only hear it as a consequence of someone else playing it who is indifferent to my tastes ... well ... no amount of money would be worth it.

I mean, probably half of the money I spend beyond cost of living / etc. goes to music related things anyways, so without the ability to listen to music I wouldn't really need more money than I have now anyways. LOL

12k would solve some problems but I would hold out for more money. Big smile
