Sorry to hear that you need such drastic treatment, Bill. I'll do what I
can - goodness knows I owe you plenty for the decades of sunhelp.org.
Chin up.

Dumb question--is there some advantage to gofundme over just mailing
you a check? If not, please send me an (off-list) email with a
physical address.

Scott,

Thanks for bringing this up, not a big fan of electronic money myself.

Bill,

Are you still at your Meadowcroft address?

Please confirm, I would rather just mail a check also.
