Jim,
The tension and hand-to-mouth that you have had to endure will this provisional judgement hangs over your head has been more than a lesser man could bear, IMHO. The dedication to keep it going during this time is nothing but admirable.

Once the sword that hangs over your head passes or falls, the knowledge that from that point forward the money will go to you and the site, will open up the contributions. Donations will always be limited, as they are now, by the thought that LAT/WP and their attorneys will grab the assets and equipment. When that sword passes or hits, and we can put you on solid footing with little and big contributions and donations...watchout world...FreeRepublic.com will really be on the map.

Keep faith in the worthyness of your creation and toil until then. We will stand by you during that bitter or happy time and then, even if shut down due to judgement...one e-mail to each will be the trigger to put make this whole if I am any judge of my fellows.

This is crazy. I've been reading LAT/WP and wondering what that could mean, and then it hit me! That's the lawsuit mentioned on the hompage right, the one about the posting of articles from the L.A.Times and the Washington Post? That's just nuts that they want to take any money raised or equipment purchased with said money! Who do they think they are anyway? What's the big deal about sharing some articles on a message board anyway?

Jeesh! If anyone needed any more evidence of "subversive, liberal mentality", I think they just got it! I myself am gonna go read more about this pending lawsuit; should prove to be an interesting read.
