All contributions to this project are welcome. But the harsh facts are that they really need money to run this business for. Their current expenses are very high, and what not many people here realize is that it was only a very few months from closing down due to lack of money. But the latest donation drive plus a cheaper ISP have made it possible for them to move a little farther away from the edge to the abyss of oblivion. Yes I know that it was a close call. It was just before my return here but I got the picture quickly. I so much hope that Seti will get a more permanent funding soon. Bad in a way that they are in the US, it would be fairly easy to get an ESA grant for them otherwise. But for now we have to keap up the donations. Amen to that, brother, amen!!! ;-D "I'm trying to maintain a shred of dignity in this world." - Me ID: 567284 ·
