2013 micapeak.com pledge drive

[Marc Lewis]

Once each year we remind folks how they can send gifts for the upkeep 
of micapeak.com, which powers this mailing list, assorted Web sites and
other services.  It's that time!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gifts (in US dollars) can be made in two ways.  The PREFERRED WAY is
to use PayPal.  Log into http://www.paypal.com and click 'Send Money',
then put 'marcl at micapeak.com' in the TO: box and fill in an amount.
Then click the 'Personal' tab and make sure 'Gift' is selected.  
Click 'Continue' to finish up.  That's it!

The far LESS-desirable method is to send a check in US Dollars to: 

    H M Lewis (micapeak.com)
    PO Box 14755
    Spokane, WA 99214
    USA
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

That's the request.  For most of you, this note is a familiar reminder.
You know what to do, or not do, and you need read no further.  If you're
still with me, however, I'll be a tiny bit more verbose.

The collection of domains (micapeak.com, wetleather.com, FJR1300.info, 
gpdndg.com, and a dozen other sites), mailing lists and hardware which 
we collectively call "micapeak" is running well.  Hard to believe, but
we've been doing this for 18 years now.  Here's hoping for at least
another twenty.

We renew our long-standing promise to keep micapeak.com, et al, running
and free of charge, no matter what. But if you'd care to throw us a few
bucks, we'd be grateful.

Carl and I know that some of the folks for whom this mailing list is an
important part of daily life would like to show their appreciation with
a modest gift.  We encourage you to think about how much time you spend
each day following this list, or using micapeak's other resources. If it
seems worthwhile to you, then please consider sending something. 

We will continue to operate the mailing lists, micapeak.com and other 
Websites for the foreseeable future (we even have sections in our wills
to make sure the online stuff survives us).  There is no obligation for
you to send anything, and you'll continue to get the email and Webpages
we serve for free.  But we'd appreciate it if you'd help out...

Thanks in advance!

SPECIAL NOTE:

Let's not make this a topic of discussion on the mailing list, OK?
Send us a gift or don't, as it suits you, but we have neither the time
nor the energy to discuss the subject further than what you see above.
And we're sure your fellow subscribers would rather not have the list 
itself cluttered with more than this notice on the subject.
Thanks!

(BTW -- I'll post this message just once more in about 2 or 3 weeks).
