Subject: what is a reasonable donation; how much do posts cost

One of the arguments about posting so much about rybka is that it costs too much
money.

I would like to make a donation to offset the costs of any of my posts. How much
does it cost per, say 100 words. What is a reasonable donation? or maybe a
better way to ask this is, "how much would the average poster cost per year in
posts?"

By the way, I really don't think the flood of rybka posts is really hurting
anybody. It is not hard to ignore such threads. If people want to talk
programing, then who is stoping them? If people want to find programing threads,
it is not hard to scroll through and find them.

And, importantly, rybka is what many people are interested in. It plays some
beautiful chess. Why deny people this small joy of talking about it?
