In case anybody here would be so kindly inclined as to join in. If you do, let's keep the donations in the NC forum. Thank you, and meow! "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting."

Obviously I can't say how much there will be, but some of it will certainly be heading towards S@H's coffers...

Last modified: 31 Aug 2014, 17:54:07 UTC Waiting for my paypal to be topped up but tomorrow is Labor Day... Oh, Julie... I know you are not rich, but a donation from you would be a true gem. I will be stumping for Seti for a while, and bashing for it a bit. You are simply wonderful if you can spare it. Like I said, I know not everybody is made of money. I work like a demon to do what I do. But I also know that even a beggar for bread can sometimes give a quarter to something they care about. And Chris S. wants me to quit my 'begging'. I shall not. Every day, so many people come to this forum to share their hopes and dreams and heartaches. You are telling me that not one of them can afford to give to the project to support their haven?? I know dang well that there are many here that have just not taken the will or time to do the deed. That is what I am here about. To kick the bucket off of the post. The old saying is......every day the bucket goes to the well. One day the bottom will drop out. If not for kind friends of the Seti project, one day the bottom shall drop out. And at least I can say that I tried to hold my end up. Meow. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster ID: 1565474 ·

And Chris S. wants me to quit my 'begging'. That comment is out of order Mark. What I said was If people do not want to donate then they wont, there is no point in trying to bully them! And, that was in a pm, a private message, not for you to mention openly. And that, Chris, is why I did not quote you verbatim. I am sorry if some feel I am coming on a bit strong, but it is something I feel strongly about. I'll get off my soapbox now, Chris. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting."

I agree that is weird... is the money going to go stale and have to be thrown out? Didn't realize that this project was so well-off as to refuse donations or any efforts to raise them. Hrm. Hope that next time there's a major server failure it occurs during the staff-supported fundraising schedule. :^p ID: 1567812 ·
