[rebel-builders] Christmas, the spirit of giving, and let's do our part.

Well, this leads nicely into an appropriate subject for our entire group.
We all know that running a service like this builders internet exchange
takes time and money. You may have noticed that this subject does not come
up very often, but this time of the year is appropriate to address the
issue.
In the past many of us have given a donation to Mike to fund the maintenance
and operation of this list. It is, as we all know, a great resource. How
much is it worth to each of us? That is a hard question to answer. I do know
that the information that flows back and forth is very, very useful.
So Maybe Mike can help us here. He knows what it takes to make this list
operate, and he knows how many people subscribe and use this builder's
exchange.
So, Mike, without getting into too many details, can you tell us what would
be an appropriate donation to keep this thing going?
If that is a concern to you, please give us a clue as to what we should
contribute. (translation, I, like most, want to keep this list going, but at
the same time I have little interest in making you rich and famous :-)
(joke)
So if you can, give us a guide line. Is the best amount from each of us
$20.00, $30.00, $40.00, etc?
With the economy the way it is, and with this being the Christmas season,
money is no doubt tight for all of us. But if we all help, as best we can
and with what is appropriate, life will be good.
By the way, Mike did not put me up to this. Actually, I don't even know the
guy.
Now, where did I put that deburring tool?
Oh, yes, as side note, the house is done, and I am back at working on the
Rebel. I am finding that it is hard to start.
Book says build the rudder first. (we have the flaperons done).
Bob P says build the fin first so that you will know what dimension you
need to make the rudder fit to the fin.
And now my friend Charlie Eubanks says maybe one should build the horz stabs
first so that you can fit the fin to them.
I guess I need to built the whole thing all at once.
