Because of your March fund raising problems, I sent you an additional $50. I may be paranoid but just wanted to check that you actually got these contributions. / John, RSN-Reader/Supporter >> If we had just one hundred more donors like that our fundraising would be cut in half. We can do this. / Marc Ash, Founder Reader Supported News
