IS NOT CONTRIBUTING THE MOST IMPORTANT THING? — To some people holding out and not donating is a badge of honor. We have people on our list who take an ownership stake in the publication, sustain it and care for it. There are others who are actively looking for ways to continue receiving the newsletters without contributing. They actually spend time figuring out how to do that. What is the most important thing? Free newsletters or the work that we all do? Who are you, and how do we get you on board?
