That was an amazing find you got there, and OMG, look at the views! Someone, somewhere has a hell of an email list! LOL! Is this a record for DU? I ask because I can remember reading a thread a while back about the kudzu and everyone wondering what would happen if the count went over 9,999... if it would go to 10,000 or roll back to 0.

Anyways, that was an EXCELLENT post. Very informative throughout, all those replies about cotton & paper... people can get an education here they couldn't buy elsewhere....

WOW!

PEACE!

2. I actually just sat here and refreshed every minute for 10 minutes watching the

view counts and timing with my computer clock... 1230 views in 10 minutes! That's 123 views per minute! DU's gonna need some cash to help with the bandwidth! LOL! Even if we have 3/4ths of the members shown at 110,000 that's like adding a whole nother DU membership!

I think we should all click on a google ad or two to help increase revenue for Skinner and the gang. Per google adsense publisher agreement, Skinner and/or the other admins can't ask us to click on their ads, but anyone with a website and an adsense account knows that it takes clicks to make money. That's why the ads are here.. to help with revenue.

For everyone who wishes they could donate to help support the site, but are unable to.. they can always click a google ad once or twice a day. You may not get a star by your name, but you know in your heart and mind that you're helping support the site by building up ad revenue.

5. Thanks. Now I understand

I think that there was a movie on a similar topic.

Not about hemp, but about inventing a fabric that lasts forever... and sent the "captains of industry" into a nervous breakdown.
