jeez, Doug, how stupid of us/me not to realize that this had to cost money. Don't eBay the K20D. That's too much irony even for an academic. ;-) Give us some time to raise funding. -----Original Message----- From: Doug Brewer <d...@alphoto.com> Date: Sat, 12 Jun 2010 18:04:13 To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List<pdml@pdml.net> Subject: Re: The State of The List

The cost for hosting runs $50/month, and I'm $200 in the red as of today, so basically just the hosting runs $600 annually. I re-upped the domain name last December for a couple of years, so it's good until Dec 2011. This has all come out of my pocket, with some donations earlier this year and a gift from the list four or five years ago, both of which were greatly appreciated. Again, it must be emphasized that I have been more than happy to do this, as well as the maintenance over the years. I've just added a donation button to the pdml.net site. It looks like shite right now, and I'm hoping to re-write the page to look better some time this weekend; keep in mind that I am single-parenting this week while Mrs. List Guy visits her grandmother in Colorado, so time is hard to come by. Thanks for your inquiries and whatnot, both on and off list.
