I somewhat agree with you.  The reason I have for not discussing this further
is that there is no need until Kevin Loch indicates that he wants input from
others and is considering changing his own policy.

I agree totally with supporting someone else for a different web site.  This I
am happy to discuss.  As for support:  I think discussing financial support can
also be important for the good of all of us.  I do not believe that Kevin Loch
has ever asked for a dime from any of us no matter how much we use his website
resources.  If anything, his time and effort are worth some monetary value.
