personally, i do hope that this forum can be not so $$ motivated...
$$ is a medium of exchange, it is a means to an end. if this forum can stand on its own, it can fund other projects.
without $$, we will have to depend on charity, just for survival.
Tell me, what do you do for a living? would you do that for free, and hope for the recipients of your work to appreciate your work, and reward you with food and lodging? would you like to go to barter trade? would you like to live in a commune?
$$ gives you your independence.
if you see $$ as an end in itself, why do you blame me and not yourself?
