While you are firing salvos across the bow of the ship and aiming 
poorly, yet professing you are helping keep it afloat, keep in mind that 
some of those hundred thousand that did not contribute monetarily 
perhaps are the real contributors that keep the list's alive with their 
donated time and efforts with information that keeps all tuned in. 
Without them you have nothing much.

Of course if some are going to stand up and tell us how patriotic they 
are by placing their money on a raffle and claiming to be "contributors" 
maybe that tells of having a not so generous agenda.

I have no argument with raising money by some means as long as it does 
not include berating others.
