Financial statement...
2003-04-25
I want to thank everyone who kicked in to get us through the late financial crisis. If there's anyone I didn't send a "thank you" e-mail, it wasn't intentional. Your generosity is breathtaking, and I'm very flattered that Rantburg matters enough to you to help support it this way. It'll take a day or two for PayPal to get the money to my bank, then probably a day for the bank to digest it. (God knows what the end of April bill's going to look like...)

So now I feel really guilty about all the things I should have been doing, but somehow couldn't find the time. I put the HTML up for copy/paste on the comments page and on GuestPoster for those using Netscape. I never did figure how to make it select an area of text, which made me feel incompetent until I saw that Blogger hasn't figured how to do it, either, and neither have the various commenting systems.

I've also put a preview function on GuestPoster. I hope that didn't introduce any bugs. (Yes, I saw Kelvin's comment today, but it's something that's been on my list for awhile, too...)

I've also worked over the front page so it's faster (and hopefully less bandwidth-intensive).

#6  thx Fred and congratulations. Obviously the many find this a great place to learn (or in my case, vent and make dumb jokes), valuable enough to put the $ where the mouth is.
Gracias from San Diego

#4  I felt so guilty I had to join Pay Pal, but now I find out that they cannot actually send you money until my next credit card statement arrives with a membership code. So you will have to wait. Sorry.

#3  Preview function???

JOY!!

Oops. The highlight option is not here.

I'd like to send a check, since I don't have a credit card. If I e-mail, can I get a snail mail address?

#2  You feel guilty for providing a great web site that's so popular the bandwidth went through the roof? Are you kidding me?

I think Fred has Richard Lewis Syndrome!

#1  Don't forget to take your Lady out to a nice dinner on us. You deserve it. Just post a description of the meal, with all the culinary details, Fred, on Rantburg.
