Skinner, why don't you use the actual donation totals in your donation meter?

Putting up a "number of donations" as opposed to "dollars donated" makes me less likely to donate let alone donate in large amounts.

I gave a few dollars last year and I'd certainly like to give again. A better meter will go a long way.

2. Did you get your money's worth? If not, then don't donate this year.

5. We each contribute what we can. The Amount only matters to the Bill Collectors,

Running a site this big can get expensive.

6. 1000 donations can be $1 per person. Setting dollar amount goals makes people open their wallets.

And what would he say?  That the donation meter was "wearing a medal ribbon it had not earned?"  He'd only embarrass himself............ again.

Walt Starr is anti-American trash and a liar.
