I donated and now I am voting
go offline
save the data
we'll all come back

[Alex Pepple]

Thanks Tim ... for me, good choice! And thanks Charlotte and Cyn. It looks like the predominant choice is to go temporarily offline and preserve data, and so it shall be.

Cheers,
...Alex

[Jean L. Kreiling]

As always, enormous thanks, Alex, for all you do. What a remarkable place this is. (And I concur with the other votes.)

Best,
Jean

[Lance Levens]

Just sent money, Alex. Good luck and my blessings. Will the bake-offs go on as planned?

[Alex Pepple]

Thanks, Jean! Thanks, Lance! And yes to the bakeoffs going on as planned ... at least, that's the plan.

Cheers,
...Alex

[John Beaton]

Thanks for the heads-up, Alex. I've just sent a contribution.

I've stated this before, but it merits repetition. A few hundred dollars per person, for those who can afford it, are needed to make a difference.

Pretend your car needs repair. If it's a Beemer, behave accordingly.

[Jerome Betts]

Sorry to hear about all the extra work involved in the change. I've donated and vote for Option 2.

[Susan d.S.]

Ditto! Donation en route. Thanks, Alex, for all that you do.

[Alex Pepple]

Thanks, John! Thanks, Jerome! Thanks, Susan!

Alex, I donate all current and future royalties from Lines of Flight to the continued existence of Eratosphere. Without it, the book might never have happened.

I also vote for going off-line temporarily and conserving data, if possible.

All the best,
Cathy
