    I have it easy in relation to Keith. I can just post something when I want. Keith has to get it into a form that someone will approve for their publication. Working with news organizations is somewhere in between. I sometimes will engage in the peer review process but mostly I don't have the temperament and the patience. I need quicker gratification!!

    Its a shame the deadline is not apparent from the crowdfunding page.

    Knowing that its ending prompts people to give now if they are going to give, whereas if they think its going on indefinitely they may defer, thinking they can give later.

    Keep the donations coming. Keith's work has been crucial - he deserves all the support members can muster.

    I put a post up with link on Phoenix Rising Fundraising subforum because there wasn't one.

    I said there was one day to go, I hope that was right?

    If I understand correctly then it will close at the end of the month, so in the UK that's two days, but I'd say that's close enough.

    Yesterday I learned that the CAD to GBP exchange rate is a bit steeper than I expected.

    Oh well, worth it!

    It's either a villain from a black and white English movie or, and this is probably more likely, CAnadian Dollar.

    I was surprised in the other direction last week, more US dollars for my sterling.

    That's one reason why I was surprised, last I checked it was a lot closer. Although last was clearly a long time ago.

    And yes CAD = loonie.
