Cynthia,
I think I need to clarify when I said I would have a "better feeling" about a donation rather than a required fee. As my earlier post said, I value this forum and would pay an annual fee and feel lucky to have access to the information here.
When I said I would have a "better feeling" I just meant that I would feel good about choosing to donate for the good of this forum. And I would in all likelihood donate more than the $20 I voted on annually. In my mind it's just a nicer thing to do, to donate money to something one feels contributes to one's own life or the good of society. Think PBS here. Someone in an earlier post said something about "not feeling the love" regarding this forum. Perhaps by asking for donations to support this forum people might feel more a part of the forum, rather than a 'required' fee. I realize it's not really required since anyone can choose not to pay.
This is more of a gut feeling or instinct that I'm trying to describe and I have no real idea whether or not asking for donations is something you would seriously consider. It seems to me though, that there are enough members of this forum who care enough about the work you do and this forum to somehow work this out to a positive end.
