So I will ask...
2022-03-13
Fred poked his head in the O-club on Monday to say hey.

He still is ill but is recovering. He wants to -- at least part time -- get back into Rantburg.

He hates to bleg, so I will. His coffers, his sole recompense for his efforts at Rantburg, is running low and are in need of replenishment.

At his last bleg he mentioned Zelle at his email address, and there is a Paypal link on the front page. If you ask real nice, he could provide a snail mail address for donations.

Rantburg will go on regardless, but your donations will help Fred with his expenses.
Update just after midnight on Sunday 13. March: I was distracted by that little excitement in Ukraine, and neglected to roll over the bleg since Wednesday. If you are able to give and have not yet, please help us help Fred keep this place going.

#42  So who is responsible for all this Russian FSB propaganda being placed on Rantburg in Fred's absence?

Maybe you don't understand the nice thing about Rantburg is that differing opinions are allowed as long as they remain civil. If you want political correctness, tune in to CBS News or The View.

#11  On the main page to the right, first yellow box down contains Fred's email.

His remarks from the last bleg:

You can also Zelle me money to my email address.

#10  Via TW (from last year's Bleg):

********, if you look in the yellow box on the right side of the main page you’ll see a link that says Email Me. Click on that and send Fred your email address – he’ll send you his mailing address in return.

Thank you for helping keep Rantburg going!
