Excellent.

Not sure this will be necessary. Since this is to be decided between the
donors (donators?) of the fund raising, I don't think it will cause
enough
list traffic henceforth to make this necessary. And since two people
have
already volunteered to act as "hubs", it might even be better if this
stays
on the list just in case someone else feels like participating.

I am planning to add a page to my web site that describes the problem,
the
possible solutions (Ser001 etc.) along with the info about the existance
of the service, how it would work, how payment would be done, how much
the interested person would need to pay up front and how much he'd get
back once the card is back where it belongs etc.
I was wondering if it was ok by you, Victor, (and considered prudent
by the rest of the community) to put a PayPal link on this page that
allows donations for NewtonTalk, or if that would look too much like
cheap begging.
Cheers
Frank
