Just don't look at the bottom line of the top box :-(

The point I am trying to drive home here is that the project's success need not depend upon a few folks with deep pockets.
It can come from a large number of us responding and making a very modest gift to the project.

I realize there are some in other countries that have trouble with the banking systems. Or folks that don't have credit cards. But they are a rather small percentage of those involved here.

I just want folks to think about this in the terms of the fundraiser title.

Who among us can really say they cannot afford 84 cents a month to give to this project if they truly believe in it?
I suspect darn few.

For most, I think it's just admitting that fact and taking a few minutes out of their day to get the deed done.

Click on my star, folks. The kitties shall lead the way.

Meow!

For just pennies a day you can feed a SETI@Home staff member.

Perhaps they should implement a star ratting system. Sort of like the eBay one I imagine. With different colored stars to show how much has been donated. This might entice people to donate more to get their preferred color of star. Perhaps an option that doesn't indicated an amount for those that like to show they have donated, but don't wish to indicate how much.

My preferred star color is transparent/anonymous.

I would strongly oppose a "star rating system".

I am no longer working full time and have to be a bit more careful with money, because I can only afford a smaller amount. It would not worry me but others who are on lower income or retired should not be "discriminated against" with a "lower value" star.

I would probably donate anonymously or stop altogether.
