Do we have any idea about the *hard costs* for running this list? I've never seen a cost of operation breakdown. (Though it could be buried somewhere in the "archive") I personally would be more likely to donate if I knew the cost of this public forum, which is founded on the generosity of knowledge and time from a great C&C community. This is what I would and do ask of any non profit that benefits from the time and energy of others.
