2016 micapeak.com pledge drive, final notice

[Marc Lewis]

This is the FINAL solicitation for donations to the upkeep of 
micapeak.com for calendar year 2016.  I won't bug you again until 2017.
(micapeak powers this mailing list, assorted Web sites & other services)

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

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.
Under 'What are you sending money for?', choose "I'm sending money to
family or friends" so PayPal will give us the whole amount (instead of
taking a small percentage for themselves).  We prefer US dollars.
That's it!

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

    H M Lewis (micapeak.com)
    4923 S Bellaire Ln
    Veradale, WA 99037-8220
    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.  2016 marks the 21st
year we've been doing this.  So far, so good.  :-)

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! 

--hmarc & Carl


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!
