At the end of every second month, this site casts dignity aside to plea to its valued readers for contributions. This can be provided through the “become a supporter” buttons at the top of the page and the bottom of each post. Note that the site is now free of advertising and, as a result of now-resolved technical difficulties the site was experiencing a little while back, very slightly more expensive to run that it used to be. As always, my sincere thanks to all the site’s donors, both regular and occasional.
