Thanks, Peter, I appreciate the sentiment.

I am not spending money because I feel obliged in any way, but because I choose so to do to forward the intention of getting the CD out. I have personally gotten untold benefits from the Mudcat, friendships and conversations, and adventures beyond putting a price on, so to do what I can afford is a simple and inadequate contribution toward balancing that exchange! :>)

And I have yet to tack down some hard numbers to see what I can afford!
