#6 "Fred can't do this by himself."

No, he can't, and I don't know what we'd do for GOOD information without Rantburg.

Sherry's donation advice is excellent, but I have an additional suggestion for those of us who buy from Amazon.

NEVER buy anything from Amazon before FIRST going to Rantburg and clicking on Fred's Amazon button (it's over there in the right-hand column below PayPal "donate" button, at least on my browser).

It may take a little practice until the muscle memory is formed, but it will form quickly and then become a habit. In fact, I did that this morning - it's reflexive. I doubt he makes much this way, but at least it's something more than he gets from donations alone.

And thanks for the reminder, Sherry - I'll put a check in the mail tomorrow.

Fred gets the boodle from Amazon as a click-through

#19 PP offers an alternative way of sending funds. Rather than putting your credit card (or bank account) info out there, you can create an account with cards you can procure at variouslocal outlets . I've been doing this for purchases from Europe. Keep a small float, then add funds just before I make an order (or a donation as in this case). That way if its compromised very little is subject to loss and nothing else is impacted like cc or bank info.

#21 Fred, I am so glad that you do what you do.

I have nothing. And I share it all with you.

In the future I will be rich and can share more than nothing. Until then, you have only my thoughts and fair wishes.

#22 Don’t mess about,
Help Fred out,
Come out of your hermit redoubt or back from your walk-about,
Give up a drinking bout or Brussels sprout,

Help contribute to the knowledge and fun,
The latest news about crime, terror, the oddly strange and lurid, and even the evil and dastardly gun,
So that Rantburg can continue to run,

If you cannot contribute cash,
Also appreciated are good will, elan, and dash,

There are many to thank,
For their cash, comments, good will, elan, and dash-==All will go into the bank.

#29 It feels like rap to me, JohnQC, with all the internal rhymes driving the rhythm, which is a legitimate modern poetic form -- and much more demanding than free verse as taught in our schools. ;-)
