I understand that the author probably had wrong expectations on how much people would donate, but this way of handling it seems wrong. -Mike On Apr 26, 1:54 pm, JP <[email protected]> wrote: > My read: Donations to CashLog did not amount to much, or anything, so > developer makes a last ditch effort.
