<<It's not about begruding Murphy a website, Richard. And if YOU as one of his early generals considers his website nothing more than an "investment newsletter" and I quote you on that, then HIS tax - exempt status is on shakey ground. >>

There is the rub, you do not now nor did you ever separate the GATA (FREE - not for profit - not run directly by Bill) web site(s) from Bill's (paid commercial enterprise)Le Metropole Cafe! GATA membership is free - tax-free contributions are accepted. The cost of being able to access Bill's Le Metropole Cafe (the $149 you mentioned) is not directly attached to GATA & if you send money to GATA it doesn't go directly to Murphy & unless Murphy donates income gained from his Le Metropole Cafe enterprise, money paid to Bill doesn't go to GATA.

Am I fully pleased with the GATA has spent every last penny?

Well, I'd rather answer that question indirectly. I'd bet that were I to look at all expenditures of ANY tax exempt entity in this world I'd find money I think was wasted. When the Pope washes feet in a gold bowl through claims of poverty, I wonder. When I see the 700 club owns cars planes & property and requests money with every prayer, I also wonder. When the United Way & the Red Cross beg for money for 9-11 relief then fail to give it out while wearing 1500 suits & flying the world, I know.

Please, someone, anyone show these jaded eyes a single charity which is fully pure & where those in charge live as lean a life as all those from all those whom they request funding.
