I'm with Sargon. Especially when I offered a full ride all expenses paid
commercially backed option. Why that option was overlooked I don't know.
Especially when I said not much would change, we would still have moderators,
blah, blah, blah. I wish you Luck Steve. But I feel like I'm giving money to a
company that hasn't provided me their projections. What kind of donation income
per month do you need to stay afloat? Once all current members donate 5 dollars
how far does that take you? Sorry you didn't take me up on the corporate
sponsorship. My board will probably be a tad disappointed.

Good luck regardless.
