PayPal has acquired a bad reputation among many and from what I
understand for good reason.
Also, I don't know how I managed not to include Keith and Journey To
Forever in the mail. Chalk it down to lack of sleep and health
concerns at the moment.
I believe there are some two thousand odd members of the list which is
why I proposed a dollar a person but there are not two thousand people
posting. As in the rest of life some of us will apparently have to
carry the others but it is something to which we ought to be
accustomed. There have been many carrying me on and off for a long
time, Keith and Martin not the least among them. It is high time we
lived up to what I at least consider our responsibilities.
As there has been no response yet from Martin or Keith I am assuming
this is OK with them so anyone wanting to contribute to this very
worthy effort could just drop me an email at my own address and I
would respond with my mailing address. I will also keep a list with
the name, email and amount of each donor and give it to both Keith and
Martin so if anyone wants to check up on me they could email either
Keith or Martin and would know that their donation had been properly
distributed and none kept by me or misappropriated in any way. And,
if it would be possible US currency would be appreciated. I
believe that would be the easiest and most efficient path, but no
donation would be denied.
If the list is willing we can proceed. I am hoping that there are
more than half a dozen or so of us willing to help financially with
the truly worthy effort. It is such a small thing but with so much
potential.
Happy Happy,
Gustl
Hello Gustl,
Sorry I have not replied earlier I am in the middle of 'finals season'
here at the university. Finals are end of semester tests, for those who
may not know.
I have also been hesitant to reply because you did leave out Keith from
your email. I realize both now and then that it was unintentional. We
can't forget that Keith and Midori have been doing this a lot longer and
have put significantly more "hard labor" into JtF than I have.
JtF is their life!
I agree with the generosity of you and the others, I would accept money
only on the acceptance Keith has for the offer, and I assume the money
would be split in some ratio between Keith and myself.
Any money received by myself would only be put toward making the
hardware running the JtF web page and the biofuel mailing list more
reliable. As a lot of you probably noticed, both the web page and the
list were down for quite some time over the weekend. The infoarchive
(wwia.org) has not been updated recently because of the possibility of
the database causing the server to crash. I will remedy this problem
over the coming weekend. I sincerely appreciate anyone's generosity.
