Dear Listers,
As of today, Contributions to the Matronics List Fund Raiser are lagging behind
last year at this time by roughly 20%. I have a Fund Raiser each year simply
to cover my operating costs for the Lists. I *do not* accept any advertising
income to support the Lists and rely solely on the Contributions of members to
keep the expenses paid.
I run all of my own servers and they are housed here locally, and the Internet
connection is a commercial-grade, T1 connection with public address space. I
also maintain a full backup system that does nightly backups of all
List-related data so that in the event of a server crash, all of the Lists and
the many years of List archive data could be restored onto a new server in a
matter of hours.
All of this costs a fair amount of money, not to mention a significant amount
of my personal time. I have a Fund Raiser each year to cover these costs and I
ask that members that feel they receive a benefit from my investments make a
modest Contribution each year to support the continued operation and upgrade of
these services.
If you enjoy the Lists, please make a Contribution today. I also offer some
incentive gifts for larger Contribution levels. At the Contribution Web Site,
you can use a credit card, Paypal, or personal check to show your support for
the continuation of these services:
