Question about Donations (simple question)

[Tax Prep by Deb]

Thanks for the reminder, and Thanks Eric for a job well done!

Please, do not try to cover my entire hosting bill, that's crazy.

This site uses 10-12% of the server's CPU, and a smaller fraction of the bandwidth/RAM/disk space.  It's not the only website on my server--it shares resources with a couple dozen other websites that I'm paid to host and maintain.

I'm coming out ahead, and this forum pays for the resources it uses and then some. 

If anyone donates twice, I'll issue a refund.

Thanks for explaining that, Eric. 

We appreciate everything you've done and continue to do for us, and we want to make sure you are taken care of also.

We just want you to be completely happy and pleased with our donations.  We all understand the costs of running a business and the behind the scenes costs as well.  All of us appreciate when we get quality professional service, and that is definitely what we are receiving from you.

Eric,

If people want to donate twice, please don't issue any refunds. Let them sleep well knowing that they have donated to a site that helps them from time to time.

Thank you for you hard work.

Me too.

This site helps me in many, many ways, including helping me to not lose my sanity.

Thank you.

Terry

Yes, really how much a person DONATES is and should be, up to them.  Some few might feel they never really benefited and don't feel a need to donate.  Someone else might feel like this board saved them from a really bad goof, and it's worth a serious donation.  Many will be somewhere between, valuing it as a critical resource.  Please Eric, let us make that decision.  We love and appreciate you, you know?
