So Mickey (the webmaster) doesn't go bankrupt and have to shut the site down?

I mean, seriously. It's more of a donation than a payment; it just comes with a few extra perks. It's like belonging to the National Wildlife Society or whatnot. You give them some money; they give you something worth a little less so they're actually getting some of your money; they keep doing what they do; you get to keep enjoying what they do. Makes sense to me.

Heck, why do you pay for cable (assuming you do)? CGR is a lot more entertaining, and a lot cheaper!

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
