I don't appreciate being responded to with 'shit or get off the pot'. I was expressing some ideas, which is what I thought this thread was. My premise was that IF Max wanted to place himself in a non-profit corporation and get all organized and seek formal donations, he probably would have done so by now over these several years. Evidently he prefers to run off the kitchen table and keep things casual. Therefore, one OPTION would be to form a group which does get organized and demands none of Max's time or soul to administer.

I agree with Mick and others that the simplest thing to do is simply have periodic funding appeals, and keep things as they are. However, for those who want want more accountability and Greater Things, then someone who actually wants to run an organization is going to have to run one.
