Fraser:
Details, please, where we can send our 20 bucks. As previously stated - I hate Credit Cards so much we refuse to have one (sometimes to our disadvantage, like now) - so where can we send a Bank Transfer? Pleased that matter about "fags" (cigarettes) was cleaned up. What does it mean in Alice Springs, Damienpaul? :huh:

PayPal's a popular means of sending money... but you need a credit card for that...

you do not want to know chook!
Anyways, I am with chook with the bank transfer and will willingly donate to the running costs of this forum. I am sure that many would donate something if it were to be accepted. Count me in for AU$20

If we could all make some form of donation, then I reckon it'll take some of the pressure of fraser. It is conceivable then he'll have a bit more time up his sleeves for new things like dancing chooks , web intros and the like.

 h34r: Well Alice - why don't we invite the REAL users, and enjoyers, of this forum to put their name forward.We must concede that money is a very delicate subject and, in this case, it is probably a matter of The Chicken or the Egg - as in Do you have a first-rate site first then request contributions; or Request contributions so that you can finance a first-rate site. In this case, Fraser has developed a first-rate site used by many satisfied Members and, as I have mentioned before, he's HAVE to offer some EXTRA to contributing members. As you and I, and a few more, have said - we'd be willing to contribute NOW. But what about the rest? If not done right it could compromise the site - people could leave in droves. I've already askedFraser for bank-details with my own contribution in mind - but the silence was deafening. So, personally, I've just left it to him. Him's the Boss Man.

Tell you what... hang onto your cash for now. I don't feel comfortable accepting people's donations right now, but there'll be a time soon when I might. When that happens, I'll make sure there's a convenient way for everyone to contribute.
What I'm thinking is setting up a fund to hire freelance writers, and this money would help cover their payments. As you said, take some of the load off of me.

i'd be more than happy to contribute fraser, not only financially, but as a writer - i am doing a journalism course as well as a professional writers course. (of course, i'd write for free)

God bless you. Alice - you're all heart! B)
But didn't you tell us that the sciences were your forte (defending your spelling, or something, against Kashi's criticism) rather than English, and the noble word? :blink: Red Rooster

Yes the sciences are my forte, well some of them anyway, but I am learning to write properly and once I do, it'll be pure poetry.
Alice

Every once in a while I must take the time to pause and Thank You for your Dedication and Wonderful work on the Universe Today New Letter, I always read your news letter with interest. Keep up the work of love. You might just enjoy my two web sites about Mars which I have attached. I have been researching Mars for quite a few years now, every since we first put a lander on it's surface .
