Subject: It's time to pass the WAFF hat
to keep the list alive
As promised earlier, I've connected with Sean Ransom about the hard costs
to keep the WAFF list up and running. The money from our last fund drive ran
out in April and Sean has been paying hosting fees out of his own pocket since
then. YTD, that amounts to $255.60 ($31.95/month x 8 months).
More than ever, hosting continue to be a commodity business so prices
continue to fall since the last time we moved the list. In the next few days,
we will move the WAFF list and site over to another host that will cost us
just $10 a month, a savings of $21.95 a month.
Meanwhile, it's time for us to pony up to make Sean whole for his out of
pocket expenses as well as to prepay costs at our new host.
I'm not suggesting any specific amount for you to contribute. But I think
that each of us ask ourselves how important this list is and then contribute
an appropriate amount.
Here's how:
1. By PayPal. If you have a PayPal account, you can use a credit
card to make your contribution amount payable to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] It's that simple. If you've never used PayPal, go
to http://www.paypal.com and clink on the Sign Up link at the upper right
and follow the instructions.
2. By mail. Send your check to Sean at:

Unlike PBS or NPR, we don't have premiums for those who make
contributions at certain dollar amounts. Who needs another zinger or a spool
of 1X tippet anyway? But trust me, you'll feel better nonetheless. Who knows,
you might even catch more fish. Or bigger fish.
