Can all the guys who think 20 isn't much send me 10$ each? I promise to
write a song for you.

the problem with the "20 isn't much" is if 1000 guys/groups decide to
run their whitelists and ask for 20$ (on each). then I need to pay
20*1000 = 20K USD. that's a captchoom. now, what if one million guys
start their lists...

and of course, for each 20$, I'll need to add the fees (unless they have
employees who can ring my bell :). and I also need to check they are a
legitimate organization, because giving money to mafia/terrorists/... is
prohibited (at least over here). etc etc etc...
