Subject: RE: In Praise Of Mudcat
In light of the fact that many of us find the mudcat important if
not essential to our lives, and to some, a significant part of every day, I would like to add a reminder to do what you can to help this keep going...here is a quote from the "support the mudcat page"

Hey, thanks for wondering how we are supported. The real truth is that we're not. Jeff, Joe, Dick, Susan and I and the rest of the
gang do it from the heart. It is a labor of love. We won't ever stop publishing for as long as we are able, which seems to be the point.

We always must be able to do this. That means in a longevity sort of way as well as a day to day upkeep and upgrade way. We have jobs just like everyone else out there, and we Mudcat-It as much as we can around those things that we need to do to pay our bills. If the Mudcat and Digitrad helped pay those bills, you bet we'd spend more time improving and adding to the Mudcat and Digitrad. The more support we get, the more we are compelled to and able to do. I often wonder, as I know does Dick, what the Mudcat could be if it were our full time job. A dream... just a dream. We also always require hardware and software to keep the Mudcat purring, not to mention internet connectivity and such.

Anyhow, I hate the idea of accepting donations. We can't afford
to get our tax exempt status, therefore any donations are not tax-deductible. Plus, I am sure you have more important things
to do with your money.

You can contribute by mailing checks or money orders.
You can also use PayPal (send to max@mudcat.org).

If you get requests for donations from many worthy causes,
consider how "worthy" the mudcat is, and what it is worth
to you to be able to come here and instantly connect with
folkies all around the world...what a special community!

You can sent in your offering by pay pal--it is easy and
painless and satisfiying! It is as stimulating as a cup
of coffee, as a source of food for thought, as "nourishing"
as a good meal, and it is non-fattening. Oh, heck, just
pitch in!
