Dear Matt,
I would be more than pleased to contribute. So far I have not because
whenever I try to post a message it gets thrown back at me as "failing
Barracuda reputation" or some similar phrase. They usually get through when
I post them from the States (as now) but not from home in the UK.
I and several others suffer this problem and have written to this effect but
nothing ever changes.

Subject: Europa-List: PLEASE READ - 2011 List Fund Raiser Kickoff - 21 Years
Strong!!
Dear Listers,
This year marks 21 years of the Email Lists and Forums at Matronics! I've
been running these forums for nearly half my life! I've made some great
friends over the years and had countless email and personal conversations
with builders about aircraft building and flying. What a great community of
people! The advice, support, and friendship has be invaluable over the
years.
To support the continued operation and upgrade of the List servers, each
November I hold a PBS-like fund raiser. It is solely through the
Contributions of List members that these Matronics Lists are possible.
There is NO advertising to support the Lists. You might have noticed the
conspicuous lack of flashing banners and annoying pop-ups on the Matronics
Email List email messages and web site pages including:
* Matronics List Forums http://forums.matronics.com
* Matronics List Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search
* Matronics List Browser http://www.matronics.com/listbrowse
* Matronics List List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com
You don't find advertising on any of these pages because I believe in a List
experience that is completely about the sport we all enjoy - airplanes!
During the month of November, I will be sending out List messages every
couple of days reminding everyone that the Fund Raiser is underway. I ask
for your patience and understanding during the Fund Raiser and throughout
these regular messages. The Fund Raiser is only financial support mechanism
I have to pay all of the bills associated with running these Lists. Your
personal Contribution counts!
Once again, this year we've got another terrific line up of free gifts to go
along with the various Contribution levels. Many of these gifts have been
provided by some of the vary members and vendors that you'll find on
Matronics Lists and they have been either donated or provided at
substantially discounted rates.
This year, these generous people include:
* Bob Nuckolls of the AeroElectric Connection
http://www.aeroelectric.com
* Andy Gold of the Builder's Bookstore
http://www.buildersbooks.com
These are extremely generous guys and I encourage you to visit their
respective web sites. Each one offers a unique and very useful
aviation-related product line. I would like publicly to thank Bob, and Andy
for their generous support of the Lists again this year!!
You can make your List Contribution using any one of three secure methods
including using a credit card, PayPal, or by personal check. All three
methods afford you the opportunity to select one of this year's free gifts
with a qualifying Contribution amount!!
To make your Contribution, please visit the secure site below:

I would like to thank everyone in advance for their generous financial AND
moral support over the years!
