I do appreciate the time put into this site, and know what it takes to keep up a site like this, so kudos to you.
I had a relatively busy site back in early days (Mosaic anyone) and little things like a week off spent at a lake miles from the nearest phone line always seemed to draw the ire of the crowd.

Jay, as long as you enter Amazon through one of the site’s links (or use the Amazon search box, of course), it counts. And thanks.

I, too, feel bad I didn’t donate before you took the button down. (Where were we while the button was up?) I’ll be sure to help with the March of Dimes.

I buy plenty from Amazon, though; will buying anything from Amazon (if we get there through the link) help out, or does it have to be the specific book linked?

I’ve sort of donated, by buying advertising space for my comic here. But I do think you should leave the donation button up. I wouldn’t feel bad about taking a few dollars to make sure the site stays up if I were you.

Heh. It’s not as if he had any choice: He’s known for the past ten years that he was the heir apparent.

Well, all I can say is that I really appreciate the site, without a doubt one of my favorites. I was happy to donate a little every now and then.

Since you have removed the donate button … then let me say thank you, I really am glad you are here .

Arvy, if I ever decide to stop doing this, the donations — which generally total maybe $50 a year — won’t be a deciding factor. Last April, though, the site collected over $200 for March of Dimes, so I’d rather just ask people for money then.

And, you know, the Amazon links are still there if you’re going to be buying something anyway.

The thing is, not only do I enjoy our little CIDU community, but the Internet gives me a whole lot of things for free. If I’m able to add a little something to the mix, that’s a good thing.
