As far as donations go, I'd certainly agree. But they didn't require anything
from me... I tried it before posting it (one would hope I would!) and it was
simply a single click-- no cookies were dropped, no forms to fill out, no
information to give... My assumption was "well, it couldn't hurt"... after all,
it seems like the only information they can track would be things like my IP
address and what browser I'm running... but things like that probably won't do
them much good, I figure... Again, sorry for spam.
