				I think the main problem with donations is that almost no one is using the other groups (at least among the other Matronics groups I subscribe to).  The AeroElectric list is really the only group that 
 is active.

    Some of my favorite sources on the 'net have
    been offering 'add-free-passes' that allow you
    to access their content offerings without having
    to hat-dance through the weeds . . . I'm really
    enjoying it and the cost is trivial.
 
    Let's not abuse time time, talent and resources
    Matt has dedicated to this endeavor for all these
    years.   Come on folks! There ain't no such thing
    as a free lunch . . . you can't eat ice cream every
    day if you don't feed the cow . . . somebody pays
    for it some where along the line.

				There are other groups that are quite active; I subscribe to the Kolb 
 list, and there are possibly more active members there than here.
 
 But even if AEC was the only one, we need to support Matt. I can testify 
 that the RV guys' virtual abandonment of the Matronics lists for that 
 other forum was to everyone's detriment, except perhaps the guy that 
 runs that forum for profit.
 
 I confess that I took the ride for free on these lists for years. I now 
 regret that and for the past few years, I've tried to support Matt 
 during each fundraising period. Trying to use 'free' lists like Yahoo 
 Groups, etc will quickly demonstrate what an asset we have in Matt's 
 list structure.

				My thought has always been, these lists are a great service.
 The RV10-List is quite active.  I prefer to get my info via
 email and not a forum. It guarantees I see it more timely.
 And, I figure you either use ad revenue, or donations, but not
 both.  So, since there are no ads here, I contribute each year.
 Matt's been really good at supporting the forums, even
 though health issues in the past, and that makes me even
 more motivated to donate.  I love to give to people who
 give likewise.

				Ditto.
 
 Aeroelectric and RV10 alone are worthy of $$ support.  However, I missed 
 the notice this year.  Can anyone give me the vitals so I can donate?  
 Thanks in advance.
