Erm, not being funny or anything, but William and I (to
name but two) have posted this stuff repeatedly to 
this list, steering and sysadmin.  

In fact, I notice that the intended-to-be-very-short-term
"oi! donate!" red bar which we put up during BEO's recent
Slashdotting is still there.

Though (and I know I have a rep for being a sarcastic
bastard and so I'm explicitly flagging in advance that this
is *not* one of those comments) I think if there's some
suggestions of additional/different places to put this
stuff, I'd love to hear about them.


Plus:

I appear to have (inadvertently, I promise) kicked off
a bit of a flamefest about donations on thelist:

a)  I'm *nearly* very sorry, but

b)  It has generated offers roughly equivalent to $80
    per month that I'm aware of in the last 24 hours,
    which puts us a gnat's fart away from being able to
    get a second Rackshack box and fix our performance
    problems.  I'll talk to Elfur/Marlene tomorrow so
    that we can rope them all in, and

c)  On which subject, it occurs to me that Paypal has a
    facility for 'Subscriptions' (monthly recurring
    payments), and we're not using it.  Can we, please?
    If that means we need a biz account, then so much
    the better 'cos then we can get Marlene one of their
    Mastercard debit cards and pay for it by CC like that.
