I now regret mentioning money.  I just wanted to say that it was not a
matter of coincidence or luck that our online presence is ad- and
bs-free.

I don't want donations and/or a treasury personally, and among the
board I've never heard any sentiment otherwise.

If I pay for hosting/service myself and give some of the benefits to
the community, it's a bit costly but simple.  If I want reimbursement
from the community somehow, I would have to trade that cost for a
different cost in terms of complexity and time.  That's a tradeoff in
the wrong direction for me.

I appreciate that so many want to help, and money is a
seemingly-simple way to do that, but I think it would add complexity
that we just don't want.
