Thankyou Gustl You're right, I didn't think of that. It was a great help at the time.
I didn't think of it because I'm sure these guys are talking about the "Please support Journey to Forever" button on the pages at our website, which takes you to a donations page. I wandered into Infopop a while back and chucked a cat amongst their pigeons over this fraudulent donations stuff after I found out about it and wandered straight out again. I think I said their "estimates" were out by a factor of 313 times. About par for their course. We don't expect to make money from donations. The money we do get helps and we certainly appreciate it, but it's dribs and drabs and doesn't amount to much. It never does on a website like ours, no matter how many hits it gets. It's not a 501c or whatever it's called registered charity with tax benefits, it's not a religious site either, it's just a website. The main reason we put the "Support" button there was because we kept getting enquiries from people and then someone told us outright to do it, not only for our sakes but because people want to help and often making a donation is the only way they can do so, you have to make it possible for them. I'm sure that's true. People making donations are pleased to do it, they say so. We're always skint and struggling, but in a way it's not so much for their money content that we appreciate the donations. We appreciate some of the feedback we get in the same way, though it doesn't come with money attached. >Hallo Keith, > >Just in case people weren't around during the time the list suffered >from the denial of service and mail flooding time let me tell that >when we changed servers it was me, Gustl Steiner-Zehender, who called >for donations to defray costs not you.
