We aren't discussing what changes Max would make to the Mudcat, my friend. We are talking about how we, as a community are going to raise money to support the Mudcat. I agree that how successful we are on an ongoing basis will be directly impacted by the product Max presents (which is why I didn't delete this post) but we are looking for a good starting place.

I don't want you to misconstrue the directness of my response. I appreciate your question, but I really want to keep this focused on methods of making sure Max doesn't have to "come begging" because we all forget that it takes money to make this work. He shouldn't have to worry about how to pay for something we all use. Hopefully we will come out of this process with a plan which addresses everyone's concerns, and can be consistently applied. Thanks for the observation, but at this stage of the process how Max views it isn't as important as making sure that those who want to help support this place have a dependable, verifiable, and accountable way of doing so.
