Do you?  According to the _The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English
Language, Third Edition_ it means "One that contributes something, such as
money, to a cause or fund."  The most applicable definition of the verb fund
from the same source is "To furnish a fund for."  So, when someone give money
to LUGNET (or to Todd and Suzanne for LUGNET) they are funding LUGNET.
Period.

I was umnaware that the American Heritage Dictionary was a resource for legal
terminology.

I am not a lawyer, but I'm pretty sure the legal terms "donor" and "funded by"
are vastly different.  I also think you're oversimplifying.

Donor, which TLC (well, at least Lego Direct) clearly are, implies that they
have made a donation.

"Funded by" implies total funding, covering all expenses.  Which TLC is clearly
NOT doing for Lugnet.

(...) It does to me too. And there's nothing wrong with that. I'm a member, I haven't finished paying my dues, but when I do, I'll donate. And I pay higher than (I think) reasonable prices at Auczilla because I know that's funding LUGNET too (...) (25 years ago, 15-May-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
