We here at newsfrome.com are always grateful for donations to keep this thing approximately breaking even. By "we," I mean me and by "this thing," I mean this blog which I have enjoyed producing — and continuing to produce — since December of 2000. I'm declaring our annual September blog-a-thon closed as we've (I've) received enough to pay for the last year's expenses. If you want to get a jump on next year's expenses, there's a box on this page to do that but I've been made whole for now and I really appreciate that.
