It has been 2,237 posts, 6,830 comments, and four years since prolific contributor and founding member Walser kicked this blog off with the inaugural rant hard-hitting social commentary.

We had a tip jar for a while, and it was never put back up when the site was re-designed. But every little bit of relief helps with the bandwidth charges so I am going to do something crass. I am going to place the Amazon Honor System pay box in the body of this post for anyone who wants to provide us their own "pre-forgiven" micro-loan. Thanks for linking. Thanks for commenting. And most of all, thanks for reading.

Maybe if we get enough we can get that Sekimori makeover I keep promising.
