Hello Mike!
I will also be happy to support you for the expenses you have. What is a
paypal? How does-it work?

Hi Scott, I have in the past asked for donations when I needed to invest
more than a couple hundred dollars into the system and or software that I
use to support the list. Beyond upgrade costs, I probably spend about $25
a
month in direct expenses that I could eliminate if I wasn't running the
list, which I'm happy to pay for all the information I've collected over
the
last 7 years.
That said, I don't have a problem accepting donations ;-). The last big
server upgrade had nearly half of it paid for by a donation made by one
member... who told me specifically no to spend it on the list. Sorry
about
that, and thanks again. With 190 list members now, $2 a piece would more
than cover the costs annually. I do have a paypal account, which is
probably the easiest way to get me money... I found out last time that my
credit union won't take checks in Canadian dollars, and none of the banks
will exchange it since I don't have an account. Go figure. My paypal
account is under mike.davis@dcsol.com.
Hey Wayne, does Daryl have a paypal account? I'd be happy to publish a
link
for him on the site, he certainly deserves more than $15 for all the work
he
did.
Thanks, Mike

Mike, have you given any thought to having a list fund raiser? Do you
have
a Paypal account or an easy way for someone to send a donation?
Like a lot of others I also use the Matronics lists by Matt Dralle.
Every
November he has a fund raiser to support his lists. He just published
this
year's list of fund raiser contributors. With 969 contributors,
conservatively, he probably brought in $20,000 and possibly closer to
$50,000.
Obviously the numbers here would be tiny (okay, minuscule) compared to
Matt's so I doubt we could put your kids through college :), but even a
small amount could help with back up drives, etc.
I suspect you do this as a hobby and wouldn't ask for donations via the
list. If you don't want to publicly publish a way to send a donation,
send
me your address off list.
Thanks,
Scott
