Maybe every other post, eh?
Outstanding!I will carefully update the Donor List tomorrow but I am so proud to say that we are likely OVER the $4,000 mark in generous donations from you.
As I have said, it is my great hope to win, and reserve as much of the Fund as possible to help the next individual who gets jammed up with a bogus charge.
It is my great hope that MSI can take custody of the Fund because I believe they are in the best position to do so.
BOO yah!
Outstanding!
I don't know a whole lot about keeping money around, but would it be possible for the Fund to be in some sort of account that collects interest? I mean, why not let it grow on it's own, if it can just a thought. The Feestate probably has rules about that though
Also...make sure MSI keeps it open so we can continue to drop in a little scratch whenever we can
.02 cents? I need to move my money there!
^^ ThisNobody is making anything off of interest, that's for sure. We've got mid-five-figures parked in an account for a specific task, but need to keep it liquid. We always laugh at the monthly statement, where the earned interest wouldn't even buy a cup of coffee.
If all the contributions were made payable to Rack, then they are gifts to Rack. Rack should/could then donate the money to MSI (I believe it can be earmarked for lawsuits).Probably best to keep it in an escrow account. Too easy for problems to arise when someone is playing with other peoples' money, and some of it evaporates.
As for interest-bearing accounts, well, I just logged $0.02 in interest from my checking account last quarter.

Start fiddling with escrow accounts, and unnecessary paperwork/rules & regs raise their ugly head. Keep it as simple as possible.
I could retire right now if i would have kept all the .02 cents i have given .
Might be a good idea to put donation info in the opening post? Perhaps even a separate thread for the purpose?
I have to say I second the idea i saw somewhere about the donors list being in the 1st post.
