Somebody sent me $5 a month or so ago. Sorry I didn't record it sooner.

Then last week I spent $39 to send two boxes to RangerHouse, for a grand total of minus $34.

Balance of the account is now: $159.87.

Thanks Jim.
Perhaps we should start including the old 'Donate to the postage fund message' in the JVJ Uploads descriptions again?

[MarkWarner]

I didn't realize the fund was getting a little bit low.

We'll have a bit of a fundraiser on CB+, to top it up.

[JVJ]

Please, no, guys,
We're still good to go for another 6 months to a year. Relax. I'll shout when things get even close to dire.

Damn,

I was just about to do my Bob Geldof impression

[Yoc]

Ok Jim,
please do let us know before it becomes too low.

Just an au revoir, folks. I'll be gone from Sept. 16 through Oct. 29. When I return, it might be getting time to replenish the JVJ Postage Fund as I expect to be shipping new books to scanners.

Attention all scanners: please do not send books back before Nov. 1. Merci.

Hi Jim,
Can I start adding the call for donations to the postage fund on new JVJ uploads again?

[JVJ]

Please wait until the first of November, Yoc.

Thanks.

Peace, Jim (|:{>

[Yoc]

Ok Jim.  Will do.

[Yoc]

Wow, thanks to all of them.  Very generous guys!

[JVJ]

More donations:
Richard Boucher - $20
Mark Warner - $25
Stephen Montgomery - $10

The balance of the account is now: $291.67.

Total of $145 in two days. Amazing! Thanks very much to all supporters!

That's ENOUGH for now - thanks very much. It'll take a year or so use up this much postage. I'm not all that comfortable being a "bank", so let's pause for a while. Okay? Stop "rattling the can". Please.

Peace, Jim (|:{>

[MarkWarner]

I am sorry Jim,

I hear you, but we are not quite finished yet! The wheels are in motion I really cannot stop them.

I know how you feel about it, I would think EXACTLY the same trust me. BUT if we get the fund up a bit more then there will be no more "nags" on the pages of your comics (personally I really don't like them) and no more when will the fund run out questions.

Two years worth of postage looks good for me then it'll just trickle through. Sorted for a long time.

Apologies again

*Edit: On reflection I won't rattle the tin anymore

Since we are on the subject of donations......I have a Epson Stylus RX620 Scanner/printer/copier in perfect working condition that I do not use or need anymore and if anyone wants this unit and wants to pay shipping to them (Or are local to Southern California for local pickup) they can have it for free if anyone is interested. Sorry for being OT.

Feel free to make this offer on DCM Richard.
But please, start a new topic or it might get lost in the shuffle.

I HATE them, too, Mark. In fact, I would respectfully ask that none be added to another of my comics. It grates on me every time I see one (which is thankfully not ofter). Seems sorta like I'm asking for money to allow my comics to be scanned and that isn't so.

CB+ and DCM members have always been generous when asked directly. That's what I would like to do in the future: wait until we're down to $50 or so and then request donations. I trust the communities to react.

Okay?

[MarkWarner]

Sounds good to me! Also I'll see if I can remove the nags we have.

Edit: I looked and then I got rid of them. EVERY single little blighter has now gone. If there was other text I left that and if it was just the nag I replaced it with "Scan of a comic from the JVJ collection." So we can both now rest easy!
