Newbie,
You are quite right that most of us do spend money on frivolous things. There are just some things to bear in mind:
* Alot of our members are teenagers who have neither bank accounts or credit cards.
* Alot of our members are not in the US and a $20 donation is not just a $20 donation---there are conversion fees involved.
No one has any problem with people paying any donation that they chose too. Dan has stated in the past that this will never be a "paid forum."
My chief complaint is people that post about the money they give in threads making those who cannot donate feel second rate.
As I always say, there is nothing preventing anyone from donating money to IW. I am just opposted to creating any "class structure."
