Yeah, open mike, I know about that banjo symbol with the fish in the middle.

I was talking about a large upright banjo [maybe a bass instrument would be better but imo that doesn't fit as well with folk music]...Anyway increasingly more sections of the banjo gets colored in [usually I've seen the symbols get red like a thermometer] when specified amounts of donations are received.

It's just a thought-whether we do this or not it's fine with me. I'm more concerned about not dissing people who don't/can't give. And as I said I'm not fond of publicly listing or praising people who do give and/or publicly noting the amount they give. I'm concerned about ensuring the confidentiality of the givers and the amounts that they give-especially if the givers don't publicize it themselves.

I like the idea of sending [form] thank you notes to persons who donate as a means of verifying and acknowledging that donation.

But I don't like that task being handled by "clones".
