Stop sending these requests for money. I will not pay for this list server.

Contribution Yet!
If you received this particular Matronics List Email message, its because
you haven't yet made a Contribution to support your Lists! This is the
first PBS-like funds drive message under the new distribution system. The
new system selectively sends out the Contribution messages ONLY to those
that forgot to whip out the 'ol credit card this year to support the
continued operation and upgrade of the Matronics Email Lists! Don't you
wish PBS worked that way?
You heard that right. Once you make your Contribution, these support
requests messages during November will suddenly stop coming to your
personal email inbox! Pardon me if I seem kind of excited about the new
feature. I've wanted to implement something like this for a number of
years now, but it was always such a daunting task to modify the back-end
List processing code, that I just kept putting it off. Finally this year,
I just decided to bite the bullet and put the code-pounding time it to make
it work. A few days later, bam! A working system!
Anyway, I'll stop gushing now. I really do appreciate each and every one
of your individual Contributions to support the Lists. It is your support
that enables me to upgrade the hardware and software that are required to
run a List Site like this. It also goes to pay for the Commercial-Grade
Internet connection and to pay the rather huge electric bill to keep the
computer gear running and the air conditioner powered up.
Your personal Contribution matters because when combined with other Listers
such as yourself, it pays the bills to keep this site up and running. I
accept exactly ZERO advertising dollars for the Matronics Lists sites. I
can't stand the pop-up ads and all other commercialism that is so prevalent
on the Internet these days and I particularly don't want to have it on my
Email List site. I'm pretty sure you don't either.
If you appreciate the ad-free, grass-roots, down-home feel of the Matronics
Email Lists, please make a Contribution today to keep it that way!!
