... the simple stuff first, travel and lodging money taking out of ones own wallet is nothing to sneeze at. A day taken off work as a vacation day, to work for others, is like a days pay lost or a day of vacation time spent working for no fee for others.
My thoughts only, forwarded as a suggestion for others to have their own and independent thoughts. No debate should ensue, and I will not engage if happens. But a mechanical method needed to accomplish what I would feel as a good method. In Chuca's SI profile, AFTER the merger takes place, AND after we all can say Good Has Happened, then if Chuca could project getting a return of a fee for a 3 month mailbox rental at US Post Office, then those that wish to use this method can do so at completely their own yes or no or amount. I will upfront send Chuca a seperate check for the post box rental fee.
To me any money I send is not a dough-nation or thank-you or anything warm & fuzzy, but simply my part of the bill I expect myself to pay.
I say this simply because I did reply to Ally's post in support, and eventho this had no money solicitated for present or future, the events did change quickly from law suit to - shareholders helping ourselves, together, pledging -, and for me, I joined this new or extended or transformed into what was now needed to get the job done, and by supporting it, I now feel that the extremely small, compared to what I would have lost money, money as my part is amazing.
Can I send in one dollar, or more if I choose to, knowing that my investment of 55+ thousand may have a value greater than zero. Sure.
Need Chuca's help. Don't need the ok from any of those that spent money. My decision to pay my own way. My decision alone, and if those I send my part of money spent choose not to put it back into their wallet, then give to church, etc.
