When you give money to help a friend, don't expect an accounting of how all of it's going to be spent. When he went to Gen Con, no one asked to see an accounting of his expenses there...
I know it's a lot of money. That shouldn't matter except to make everyone proud for being part of a great community. I've (and I'm sure others like Eric and Morrus) have been working pretty hard for the past two days to keep things up and going. Talk like this gets our spirits down and loses sight of why we did this to begin with: to preserve what we had already, not to demand more.

I can't dissagree more. When you give money to a friend in need, you expect accountabiltiy. This is NOT A GIFT. If I give a friend money I expect that it will be used well within the parameters of the need based on what I know about the person. I don't give out handouts. What assurance do I have that the money is being used well?
None.
It's nice that there are good intentions for the money, but we all know what the road to hell is paved with...
If Morrus wants to use this forum as a means of income, then he needs to run it like a buisness. Charge us for usage, or expect the boards to go under.
That's just my opinion, I could be wrong...
