I was really trying to give an "at best, blogging can..." to indicate that there are much more practical means of demonstrating support for a lobby. Blogging has, for the most part, struck me as a conceited waste of time. > How many here would devote $35/month to a national advocacy group? I think it would be worthwhile to allow more flexinility in the size of donation - $35/mo is well beyond my means as a student, though I give $5/mo quite comfortably to other groups. Obviously someone who has a Linux-based business, might consider it a sensible investment to donate $100/mo We might be able to raise that kind of money. -- Kristofer Coward http://unripe.melon.org/ GPG Fingerprint: 2BF3 957D 310A FEEC 4733 830E 21A4 05C7 1FEB 12B3 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
