Go up one level in this thread

I don't agree with you Fernando.
I agree the people that live with 1 or 2 $s a day are not here, but there are
people that lieve in countries that are inbetween your level and 1$ a day.

They don't pay 20$ for a book, they pay few kopecs or the like, and they might
not have 20$ a year to read a forum.

I read several fora around the net and I do donations here and there, but I
would not contribute with 20, or even 50$ as other suggest, for this.

Acutally, beside here, I had to contribute only in places where there was
donwload material and the cost was to cover a consistent bandwith.

There are many people here that just lurk once in a while and you can't ask 20$
for that.

May be the initial estimate of 4000$ is something people would not want to
support. May be it is really time to move elsewhere.
But you can't think anybody can have 20$ to spend for a textual forum and I
would never go as far as aking justifications for getting a free account.

Franz
