Sorry, to me this sounds pointless - why not get the $99/mo box now and
contribute $49/mo to .jeff for a few months until we get ourselves in order?
This slightly reduced buffer time of cash available will help motivate us
to ensure we have some form of donation and/or other revenue in place to pay
for years 2, 3, 4, etc.
I really think buying cheap now is a bad move, as the votes have shown.
Anyone could have retracted or altered their vote after Jeff's comments,
no-one did. Let's do the $99/mo thang, and sort Jeff out with some
contributory costs too.
