If you visit here regularly, we ask for $20 donation for the next twelve months; if you come every day or more than once a day, please consider giving more. Without it, the blog won't survive.To put things in perspective, Sullivan has raked in some $120,000 or so from past threaten-and-beg "pledge" weeks. No begging here. The way I see it, Sullivan is saying "gimme money and then trust I'll do a good job." Last summer, however, Sullivan took a whole month off just days after he collected around $40,000 in donations. Here at HobbsOnline I figure if I do a good job, folks will donate via the Amazon tip jar or PayPal in recognition for the good work I have already done. I'd just feel sleazy threatening to shut down my blog if you didn't give money - and then take a month off after you did. Comments
