are looking for support to help the service stay snappy. And although I have many questions, and long ago promised myself to quit donating to for-profit companies, I’m going to send a cheque or money order.

I’ve been down this road before with companies and concluded that making a donation to a company that intends to make money isn’t the best idea – much better to pay a fair, agreed-upon price for a service than to respond to a call for action. At the same time, in my opinion the Blogger folks deserve a lot of slack on this issue. To me, what they are trying to do is in the absolute best spirit of what the web should be – and I’ll support that any day, no questions asked.

So go now, and give what you think is appropriate!
