Ok, I'm not sure if it's far far better, but I'm ok with it. Maybe I just read
it badly to that person and that's why he was confused... :)

Thanks for the reply, but "your defined monthly budget" is absolutely
not going to work. It's FAR FAR better for people to say "site-wide
budget? How does that work?" than to have the WRONG idea "oh, I get to
set a cap for how much I give to each project".
We are NOT offering people to cap each project, we are giving them ONE
overall site-wide (or system-wide, there are other wordings for these
things) budget. If the total of *all* their pledges goes past their
limit, then the project that grew will be dropped until they decide to
drop others instead or to change their budget limit. We don't have time
to explain that, but we don't want anyone to have the wrong idea that
you can have a per-project budget.
