Subject: RE: Membership - Way to go?
I believe donations should be a voluntary thing. Some people just don't spend that much time here and some don't have any money they can spare. What was it Marx said about abilities and needs?
MY problem is sending money. $20 a month doesn't seem like much, but if I sent it EVERY month, and other people sent $5 - $25 every month, it sure would add up.
What would make it easier for me would be if there were a way to have it sent automatically. Is there an account with its own electronic account number? I could perhaps have my bank transfer $20 a month without having to DO anything, and it's that 'doing' that makes me such a goldbricker when it comes to donations.
I don't have a lot of extra cash and I'm gonna have a lot less after I pay for the $800 septic line replacement and the unexpected but inevitable automobile and house disasters, but $20 is about 4 pts of Guinness and 4 bags of chips.
