Obviously you don't have to answer any of the above, I'm just being a nosey crunt...
db10 - i am self-employed and juggle things around as much as i can to fit in the website stuff, for which the owner of the gooner pays me a token amount. but let's put it this way - file under labour of love - which is why sometimes i don't have time to do more than i currently manage as i cannot justify the little time i do spend on this site. i really should give it up completely and knuckle down to some real work, but i know i would miss it. so in answer to your question about how rich i am. well, let's put it this way - i have developed a 'money doesn't make you happy' philosophy as it's highly convenient to have such an attitude given my currrent financial status

I always got the impression that you owned it! So, who is the owner, or are you forbidden to say?
Jaysus... I bet it's TS!
What a f*cking amazing Machiavellian plot that would be!!

*Hunches down low over keyboard, the room in darkness*
TS owns the Gooner on the quiet, utilising the talents of his frontman Kevin Witcher, then TS sneakily opens an account to try push up the post numbers and encourage the regular users (ever expanding his evil empire), then he worms his way up to Moderator level by either tricking the regulars into suggesting same or by just telling Kevin that's the way it's gonna be bitch (neither fact has been confirmed or refuted at this stage) so the regulars get used to looking upon him as an authority figure and then the grand revelation on the opening day of the season that he , Tony Saunders, is indeed the mythical owner of the Gooner...

Muhahaha!!

F*ck this, I'm copyrighting the above "pitch" of my movie idea;
"EL KAPITANO SAUNDERS - THE LIFE & LEGEND OF A MAD BASTARD"!!

It will of course be a Spaghetti Western. I will accept suggestions for actors to play the lead roles in this grand epic.

I'll probably reserve Eastwood to play me so hands off our Clint you dirty gringo bastardos...

Jaysus, if TS leaves this shite on I'll be f*cking amazed!!
