Yes, like a kind of sponsored Madrid Man get together.

I don't mind sponsoring myself at home by myself even and then sending the money! I can easily have a drink and put the equivalent in money to one side until I have enough to send!

What better excuse to over indulge? Although I think friends and family might think I have gone mad.

What about becoming a registered charity! I'm sure the site has helped enough people out to be classed as this?!?!?!!?

Jo

A few of you have sent oh-so-kind emails and Private Messages and I thank you so much.

Still, my role as website owner/administrator/moderator cannot include fund raiser. This said, I've asked Antonio to take on this task and we've agreed to divide the booty (income) 50-50. Then, we'll both split town with our $29 in hand and live the high-life on some secluded beach in Central America , never to be seen again by internet eyes.

Okay. Okay. All kidding aside, I've visited a few websites where the website admin is doing the old "PUHLEASE give generously or I'll have to shut down for lack of funds!", sounding like a first-class ass, liar, and evangelist (I'm NOT saying all three are equal -- I'd put "ass" at the top of the respectability pyramid as being the most positive ) in order to make a little extra money on the side. Nope. I'm not going to do it. My conscience and reputation (and that of this website/message board) mean more to me than cash so thank you for your consideration, but I humbly and respectfully say "no thanks" . I'll raise the cash myself over the next year or so and will upgrade after a few more versions have passed.

Thanks group! You're the best!!!!

Saludos, MadridMan
