    Oscar thank you very much for the kind of offer of support. I think Hiram has a patreon entry, so you might want to consider that, but I have not put one up myself. Over time and as the site grows I will revisit that, because I do think it encourages camaraderie even to make small donations, and we definitely want to encourage teamwork.

    You have certainly hit on the main purpose and benefit of this site. I have typed more words than I can count on Facebook that are forever lost, but here each word we type is findable and hopefully helps build a base from which we can work toward active Epicurean cooperation.

    The best way you can help is to start threads of your own, contributing to existing ones where you can, and also helping us spread the word to other friends of Epicurus who haven't yet heard of the site.

    Thanks again!

    Welcome again Oscar

    Here’s my tip jar/patron page:

    https://www.patreon.com/hiram

    That goes to supporting the fees for societyofepicurus.com page. Also, feel free to ask for specific content if you donate. For 2019, I am trying to create awareness and encourage discussions about Epicurean economics, because I feel that this is an under-developed area that deserves more attention. My last 20th message was the first conversation starter on the subject.

    "Please always remember my doctrines!" - Epicurus' last words

    Hi Oscar! Godfrey here. Just want to say that I've been thoroughly enjoying the street drummer Dario Rossi. Amazing performance! I love how hard he works, how hard he must have worked for years, and how much obvious pleasure he gets from his drumming. It's inspiring to see how pursuing one's pleasure with passion and perseverance can not only multiply one's pleasure but spread it into the world as well.

    Thanks for that!

Finding Things At EpicureanFriends.com

What's the best strategy for finding things on EpicureanFriends.com? Here's a suggested search strategy:

  • First, familiarize yourself with the list of forums. The best way to find threads related to a particular topic is to look in the relevant forum. Over the years most people have tried to start threads according to forum topic, and we regularly move threads from our "general discussion" area over to forums with more descriptive titles.
  • Use the "Search" facility at the top right of every page. Note that the search box asks you what section of the forum you'd like to search. If you don't know, select "Everywhere." Also check the "Search Assistance" page.
  • Use the "Tag" facility, starting with the "Key Tags By Topic" in the right hand navigation pane, or using the "Search By Tag" page, or the "Tag Overview" page which contains a list of all tags alphabetically. We curate the available tags to keep them to a manageable number that is descriptive of frequently-searched topics.
