This list is apparently a more valuable resource to many of you than I realized.

I'm literally bowled over by the generosity. I've received so many emails about
this that I really can't personally reply to them all right now.

Many of you have asked some questions I would like to answer now.

Q. How many members are there on this list. A. About 1500

Q. Why don't we just divide the amount needed by the number of members and ask everyone for that amount? A. Not too practical. This list is international. It could present a hardship for some. Not everyone feels they get the same benefit from the list.

Q. Why not make this a fee based subscription? A. Charging a fee presents all kinds of additional complexity that I don't care to introduce.

Q. How much should I give?
A. That's up to you. Don't make it a burden though. Don't clean out your savings, or anything like that. Many are pledging $10 or $20 U.S., some more. We don't want it to hurt. :)

Q. How can I send you some money?
A. Details forthcoming. You can send it to Bruce via PayPal. Some want to send checks, what have you. We'll post a PayPal account and an address.

Thanks

Jared
