Thanks so much. Our goal this week is to reach a total of 7,000 members altogether &#8211; a base that can assure the site&#8217;s survival and my actually getting a salary. We&#8217;re over 5,000 now &#8211; and gaining. If you&#8217;ve read the blog regularly for a while now, please think about contributing the $20. It adds up to less than a nickel a day if you&#8217;re a devoted reader. Essentially, we&#8217;re trying to create a model that&#8217;s subscription-based but still free to access. If you want to help this model work, find out how <a href="tipping_point.php">here</a>. It&#8217;s simple, quick and vital for the site. And thanks again for all of you who have already contributed. You make this possible.</p>
