I'm showing my age again, so for those of you who don't know, the old guys in the cover photo are Frank Bartles and Ed Jaymes. They were a fictitious duo who hawked wine coolers way back in the 1980's. Ask your parents (or maybe your grandparents) if you want to know. But they always ended their commercials with "and thank you for your support" with a very deadpan delivery.
So pick any two you want (Dan, MJ, or me - Webjr isn't nearly old enough), and try to picture us repeating that line. Thank you for your support.
We didn't reach our goal through the donations, but when you add in the banner sales that Dan has generated, I think we'll be OK. We'll keep working to improve the site and our coverage, and hopefully we can come up with some big sponsors so we never have to ask you again.
If you missed out, don't worry, the donation buttons on the right still work.
