Guilty too I fear Lisi.  OTOH, something that works well and has a donate 
button on its web page, has found me clicking on the donate as long as 
the questionair to do so isn't a data gatherer to be sold to a spammer.  

When they want my unlisted phone number and mailing address is usually 
where I draw the line and close the page.  But if its an https page, and 
only wants my name as shown on the card, the card numbers, and how much, 
or has a paypal setup, then sure I'll donate.  I don't mind buying some 
decent breakfast bacon for the coder, but I'll be damned if I'll enhance 
a spammers ability to trash my phone, inbox or mailbox.  I own all 3, 
and I'm paying the bill to have the connectivity.  They are freeloaders 
IMO.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
