As a side note, I did send $20 to their PayPal account, more or less as a test 
to see how contributions would be handled.  I never received an acknowledgement 
from anyone at Global 24, let alone a "thank you".  Furthermore, when I 
received my receipt from PayPal, it showed that the money went into the 
individual account of one Jeff Demers.  I have to say that I found all that a 
bit unusual and more than a little sloppy.
