I mailed a check today.

Wonderful, Mark … thanks for the help!

I’m a bit embarrassed by that “Muse” thing by my name, which I did not expect. I won’t ask Alex to take it down just yet. It came without my asking for it. My gift was sizeable because Eratosphere is very important to me. There was and is no desire to show off or compete in some donation “potlatch”. All I can say is I’d love to see more such beside other people’s names. This is a very, very special place that must not fail. Perhaps Alex could find a way to combine a second donation from those who’ve contributed with their first, so that Nine or Ninety “Muses” could appear.

Don't be embarrassed, Allen. Well said and well done.

You prodded me to toss in a few more ducats.

For the first time in Sphere history, Allen doesn't seek to amuse...


But in all seriousness, a subtext of Allen's comment is that there are probably several folks who donate anonymously or without chiming in on this thread because they don't necessarily want to draw attention to their donation(s). I have nothing to do with the financial side of things, but Allen's note reminds me to tip my invisible cap to those invisible investors.

Alex, I donated through PayPal. Hope it went through! I'm not on Sphere much these days, but I shall always be grateful to you and the Sphere community for all the help I received with my poetry--immeasurable--and all the friendships I have formed here. Thank you! Hope to pop in now and then, when time allows.

Thank you, Charlotte! Your support is much appreciated!

Hi Alex,

As per usual (though absent a while), I’ve just donated to this worthwhile cause.

Cheers,
John
