Jordan was pretty clear about this already. Most non-profit organizations work this way, for example - United Way, PBS, etc. The donors *trust* the principals to spend the money in a wise and useful manner. Those organizations with the best track record of this tend to be the ones that get the most money. Noone except the board of directors has any real say in the way that the money is spent, but people still donate because they believe in the cause and the people behind it. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
