| Subject: | [PLEASE READ] Why I Have A Fund Raiser... |
>From the beginning, the Matronics List and Forum experience has been free from
advertising. I have been approached by fair number of vendors wanting to tap
into the large volume of activity across the various lists hosted here, but have
always flatly refused. Everywhere you go on the Internet these days, a user
is pummeled with flashing banners and videos and ads for crap that they don't
want. Yahoo, Google and that elk are not "free". The user must constantly
endure their barrage of commercialism thrust into their face at an ever increasing
rate. Enough is enough, and the Lists at Matronics choose not to succumb
to that.
That being said, running a service of this size is not "free". It costs a lot
of money to maintain the hardware, pay for the electricity, air conditioning,
maintenance contracts, etc, etc. etc. I choose to hold a PBS-like fund raiser
each year during the month of November where I simply send out a short email
every other day asking the members to make a small contribution to support the
operation. That being said, that contribution is completely voluntary and non-compulsory.
Many members choose not to contribute and that's fine.
However, a very modest percentage of the members do choose to make a contribution
and it is that financial support that keeps the Lists running. And that's
it. To my way of thinking, it is a much more pleasant way of maintaining the
Lists and Forums. The other 11 months of the year, you don't see a single advertisement
or request for support. That's refreshing and that is a List and Forum
that I want to belong to. I think other people feel the same way.
Won't you please take a minute to make your Contribution today and support these
Lists?

If you are concerned about your contribution, send Matt a back copy message
to his email address instead of the Kolb List. I doubt he reads every msg
posted to each of the many lists on Matronics.

I can assure you Matt checks on "these things". Not necessarily "read every
message that comes across every message board in Matronics".
Shoot Matt a personal bc message about your concerns and he will respond.
Here's Matt's email: dralle@matronics.com

Thanks John, I do feel better about this, didn't know that you knew him that well.
I never have seen my name on the list of contributers but that doesn't really
matter...

Johns right,
I sent my contribution the same day Matt posted that there was some problems with
the list.
I replied to his post about the list being down asking if it affected my contribution
getting through and he replied promptly.

Hi Rick,
Your contribution was received, thank you! It is very much appreciated.
There are certain circumstances where you might still see a Contribution related
message. For example, if someone replies to one of the messages, when using
the List Browse feature, or when accessing List message via the Forum. The system
keys on the given email address and since most of these are anonymous public
access methods, there is no simple way to filter them.
Thank you again for your kind contribution!
Matt
