> I sense some reluctance to *tell* people directly to support the site... you might not want to tell them what to do, especially to give you money.
Right.
> But the best contingency might be something other than whether a person likes your work. My advice would be that whether or not people like *your* work might not be relevant. Far more people are likely to support the site because they like the mission of the site than because they like your work.
Well, the site is my work, but I take your point, it depersonalizes it. I went and changed the text a little:
> If you'd like to support online education and self-help, you've followed the right link! Those are the goals of this site, and this is a 100% volunteer effort by one person (me)...
>
> No one is under any obligation to offer any support. This site is and always has been free (and free of advertisements). But if you'd like to support online education and self-help, you may make a donation...

Thanks for your input,
