good morning!
I think that Chris & Keith are making very correct points. In my mind,
perhaps wrongly, the crowd funding calls/announcements, are a blunt
form of project announcements, gallery openings, or indeed paper &
participation calls. While not all such events are funded, many which
are, will either receive none - or far less - if people did not
come/use the service/event. Therefore by talking about, an endeavour
and/or announcing, is it not a way to ensure a certain "success"
measured by numbers that will have direct effects on funding?
Just a thought.
Have a good day!

Quoting Christopher Leslie <chrislesli...@gmail.com>:
I think Keith's response is phrased particularly well. A
conversation that does not overtly involve money is still funded in
some way … otherwise there would be no way to use a network to send
it and receive it and we would not have the leisure to participate.
