Just a brief update on the list and other items: 1. There will NO Facebook, Twitter or other social networking URL associated with the Photo Album. I don't subscribe to these networks due to their insecurity, impersonal and ad-ridden software.
2. I do not want to be part of gofundme.com. I don't understand how they can do it without some cut in the money collected. In recent months, there have been several scams that raised thousands of dollars and nobody knows where the money went. I think the site is open to investigation by the local and federal authorities and I don't need someone asking me for an audit. 3. If you like the Photo Album and this list, it's easy to contribute. But I am not forcing anyone to do so. I have funded both for many years and have no regrets. Costs keep going up and that it the only reason I have asked for help. In fact this list has been operating almost flawlessly since 2006. 4. The actual cost of the Album and List is difficult to caculate because of the constant changes in pricing. The Album is actually hosted on 3 different companies (no free sites) and the list on another. Reason is simple -- if 1 host goes down, I only lose a portion and not the whole whack. Domain registration alone costs about $80.00 a year. This list costs about $300 a year and the Album about $600. So I guess a good estimate would be $1000 a year. Although I don't sail a C&C anymore, the friends I have made and comraderie made, means more to me than anything. I hope in the near future to meet more people and expand my contact list Again, thanks to everyone who has contributed. It is greatly appreciated.
