Have made my yearly donation already.
But we should make a big bang on the 10th anniversary.
Will try so too.



With each crime and every kindness we birth our future.

.... can the rest of you match it before the end of April 17?
                                                               Joe

Put another $100 into the pot, to get the matching started.

Your confirmation number is: 45562

Let's hope this gets linked up to my account quicker than the last one (which still hasn't showed).

Thank you...I want to ensure that whether the script is working or not, people can send me any Green Star concerns and I will resolve them.

I have tried several times to compose some small posting that would express my personal thanks to Josef for his generous donation. I simply do not have the words. I try again............

Thank you Joe not only for your donation but for your insight and knowledge that is also of great benefit to Seti and the Seti community.

The budget for this year was supposed to be $548,200 and there are 52 weeks in a year. That's over $10000 per week.

Although those who read and post here are few and cannot be expected to supply the whole amount for the year, I think we ought to be able to at least do a week's worth while a donation drive is active.

It is just after midnight the morning of April 10 in Berkeley. I've just put in a $5000.00 donation, can the rest of you match it before the end of April 17?
                                                               Joe


Joe-I missed this before....I'm sorry.

Thank you for inspiring other givers!!

Want to match, but budget and 'she' (who must be obeyed!) says not yet and not that amount, but I promise to donate $1000 in July (it's in the budget already;)

I just e-mailed my $50.00 . I wasnt going to donate, but i read Bob mahoneys post and there were many reason that compelled to donate. The number one being, The next time a babe asks me what id do ill just casually say I do scientific analysis for Arecibo. Im sure that will go over well with the wife though:) All kidding aside though I have learned a lot from the message board side in the last 4 months and hope to keep on learning.

Thank you all for the donations!

Unfortunately the outage made it impossible for me to do totals Saturday so I am locking this thread now in order to do counts and a grand total.
