Here's the way I'm looking at this situation: this thread has had over 24,000 views. Allowing for multiple views by visitors, let's say there are only 10% of the 24,000 views as unique. If each of those would kick in $6.00, that's over $14,000.00. Granted that may not be enough for a permanent save, but may be a temporary lifeline. So......how about it?
I wouldn't blame Keith if he would shutter this site without warning. I own a manufacturing business, and if a part, or parts I make were losing money, I would either raise the price, or curtail their manufacture. There ain't a free ride.
