I have answered your questions fully, and you have not responded to my answers. "Whatever" and shouting do not constitute answers, they simply make you look ever more disreputable. Greatergood provides a link to click. It gets corporations from the private sector to agree to contribute to the Hunger Site, which distributes the money to MercyCorps and America's Second Harvest. Greatergood receives not more than 25% of the corporate donations to offset development and maintenance costs of the site. (Monthly server costs alone are over 23,000.) Since the hosting fees, which equate to every charity's overhead costs (except they're much lower than average), are figured into the donation totals each month, 100% of what you donate with your click goes to the Hunger Site beneficiaries. Please provide your source that The Hunger Site is a for-profit website. I commend the private sector for doing good works, as you should, and will be thrilled to know that it is -- however, I was unable to find any indication that the Hunger Site is a for profit business. Please provide the link. I believe that both Mercy Corps and America's Second Harvest, which distribute the Hunger Site click-proceeds, are non profit. Neither I nor anyone I know "own" any part of The Hunger Site, if there is anything to "own." I do not "spam" it "everywhere." That is another personal attack, and lie. Sherry Fox, Edwarda and I used to post it twice a day late at night (never during trading hours) on different threads. This was over a year ago. Nothing was expressed but pleasure at having the link, until, right beforeThanksgiving, a guy named TraderAlan complained (and then he and his friends made lots of repulsive jokes about how much food they were going to eat at Thanksgiving), and we stopped posting the url. SI Bob suggested I use my profile to provide the link. Sherry and I have posted it maybe a half dozen times in the subsequent year and a half. You have done a great job of revealing who you are in this exchange. You haven't answered even this simple question: What percentage of the Red Cross's proceeds go to overhead?
