All -
I am not advocating changing anything.
Per the latest comments;
Just curious what units are represented in the statement :500 - 999
$35.00;
Is that subscribers, or emails per hour : 500 - 999 ? Just curious.
If the numeric range is subscribers that ~approx 36 cents per year or
less, I don't know about anyone else, I could donate through paypal
$1.00 a year, or 3 postage stamps what ever is greater ?-}
Anyway Thanks -
Hutch
