Just my 2(pick your currency) worth, anyone prepared to put in the effort folks like sorbs, ordb, spamhaus, Jeff and many that have gone before. Altruistic people who have put horrific amounts of time, money and effort into making the lives of us mere mortals easier, deserve recognition, gratitude and PAYMENT! Would you pay for and rebuild a strangers house for them? Because (imo) that's about the equivalent Some stick a donate option on their sites, which I suspect is rarely used. Others don't even do that. If phone companies let us have free lines and ISPs give us free hosting, maybe then we can wonder about free uribl's. The absolute least we can do is add our thanks and put some money in the pot - or our money where our mouths are. I for one am quite prepared to both proffer my thanks and put my money where my mouth is. I'm also prepared (as are my users) to add a small sum, which on a per user basis it would be, to each sale the benefits land me. I must admit to being horrified that anyone EXPECTS this for free.
