I suggest that we develop some kind of consensus on how to handle this kind of 
situation. I do not wish to feel uncomfortable, nor do I want others to feel 
so. After we have participated in this list over several years, some of us 
have got to know one another better than others, but somehow we are expected 
to interact like AI bots without emotions. 

All the same, let's not keep going round like this. Let's just agree to take 
it private once it starts to go off-topic. 

As for that lost donation, perhaps I will find warmth in my heart, and enough 
money in my account, to make up for the creepy insincerity of the previous 
retracted-but-never-truly-offered donation of others. I can't promise 
anything now, but maybe  in another couple months. I will put my money where 
somebody else only talks. 

After all, it is good karma. I have been using TDE for a few years now, and 
cannot imagine using something else.
