Some others have since told me the same thing.  I think it's a good
idea, as, as you might expect, we had a small handful of people kindly
respond to that announcement, but since then, we've not really seen
any donations.  The last thing I want to do is keep bugging people
about it, so this idea is definitely a good one - it will have to take
some figuring out how to set it up, though - not sure if it can be
done with PayPal, or if we'd even want to do it that way.

That's a decent idea.  I'd be very interested to see what other people
think about it.....???
