I find nothing wrong with the current system. I like to watch the bar increase.

Well, yes, I kinda take an interest in that, BUT I haven't really worked at one of these fundraisers....just an occasional bump!

Staging them, running them, starting the new threads, etc. is pretty time-consuming for those who do this, and similarly,

Some others get tired of the intrusions on the various threads of the "Support Free Republic" guy.:-))

So, besides being able to count on a high # of monthly donors, giving a known and predictable amount each quarter, some of the extra work and aggravation of fundraising could be eliminated.

I think MORE people would be HAPPY with those developments than a few people like you and me who like to watch the bar grow, and would be DISAPPOINTED if not needed.
