[Focault's Pendulum]

My e mail to The Onion.

I was introduced to your hilarious site due to the postings on FR. I'm sure you understand that FR is a non profit organization.

We are a loose confederation of like minded individuals who like nothing better than a healthy dose of humor, included in our daily discourse of local, state, national and world events

While I understand your trepidation at having copywrited material seen elsewhere, you surely must realize, that a number of hits on your counter are due to the one hundred thousand plus members of FR satisfying their curiosity. We are a curious bunch.

I wish you continued success, and hope that the decreased advertising revenues do not affect you in any large manner.

Sincerely,

Focault's Pendulum

Free Republic is not a non profit, it is an LLC. Jim calls it a "not for profit" because just enough money is raised to pay expenses and the partners do not receive dividiends.
