[BaseCamp] 2021 micapeak.com Pledge Drive final notice

[Marc Lewis]

This is the FINAL solicitation for donations to the upkeep of 
micapeak.com for the year.  I won't bug you again until Jan, 2022.
(micapeak powers this mailing list, Web sites & other services)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gifts (in US dollars) can be made in two ways.  The PREFERRED WAY is
to use PayPal.  Log into https://www.paypal.com/ and click the 'Send & 
Request' link at the top of your account summary page.  In the white
text box type: "marcl at micapeak.com" and click the 'Next' button.  When
PayPal asks 'What's this payment for?' click 'Sending to a friend',
since you'll be making a donation, not buying anything.  On the next
page, fill in an amount and add an optional note if you wish.  Click
'Continue' to finish up.  We do prefer US dollars, but other currencies
work too.  That's it! And thanks in advance...

The far LESS-desirable method is to send a check in $USD payable to
"H M LEWIS" (not "micapeak", the bank doesn't like that) to:

    H M Lewis 
    4923 S Bellaire Ln
    Veradale, WA 99037-8220
    USA

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

That's the request.  For most of you, this note is a familiar reminder.
You know what to do, or not do, and you need read no further.  

The collection of domains (micapeak.com, wetleather.com, FJR1300.info,
gpdndg.com, and a dozen other sites) and mailing lists which we
collectively call "micapeak" is running well, thanks mostly to Carl's
mailing list wizardry.  We're still sending over one million e-mail
messages every month connecting motorcyclists.  2021 marks the 26th
year we've been doing this -- we're so happy 2020 (AKA the Year of the
Dumpster Fire) is behind us.

Carl and I know that some of the folks for whom this mailing list is an
important part of daily life would like to show their appreciation with
a modest gift.  We encourage you to think about how much time you spend
each day following this list, or using micapeak's other resources. If it
seems worthwhile to you, consider making a gift in proportion. 

We renew our long-standing commitment to keep micapeak.com, et al,
running and free of charge, no matter what.  There is no obligation for you
to send anything, and you'll continue to get the email and Webpages we
serve for free.  But all small gifts are appreciated, and larger ones in
proportion :-)

Thanks in advance! 

--HMarc & Carl


SPECIAL NOTE:

Let's not make this a topic of discussion on the mailing list, OK?
Send us a gift or don't, as it suits you, but we have neither the time
nor the energy to discuss the subject further than what you see above.
And we're sure your fellow subscribers would rather not have the list 
itself cluttered with more than this notice on the subject.
Thanks!
