If you use Wikipedia…

…please read this appeal and consider making a donation. I realized a while back that I have come to rely very heavily on it. The small donation I just made doesn't come close to paying for the use I get out of it, but it's something.

Interesting detail (to me, anyway): Jimmy Wales, the founder of Wikipedia, is from Huntsville, Alabama, near where I grew up and where I lived 1984-1990.  Disheartening detail: he's an objectivist. But Wikipedia is still a good thing.

    I never donate in resonse to appeals, and I gave Wiki some money the minute I saw it, a couple of weeks ago. The humber of times I have looked up someones dates on Wiki, and the amount of time this has saved me, doesn’t bear thinking about. Certainly more than I gave!

  2. Yeah, that was pretty much my reaction.

  3. I give them time; I’ll not be giving them money as well.
