D'oh! I just *read* TFP and noticed that they "don't accept domestic donatinos"... WTF? I don't know why not. In talking to them, I was led to believe that they did. Plus, that part of the page appears to be a graphic, so one cannot cutNpaste those words... annoying, and badly-designed, considering that they're [self-proclaimed] 'geeks'.
