O.K. I'm going to try the pledge drive method to generate some monetary support for my time and efforts to keep this website. Here's the Post:
Thanks everyone!Pledge Drive
This Web Site has been in existence since July of 1999 and in that 7
1/2 years it has grown beyond my imagination. I started this website to
simply document my Ferrari Restoration, and organize some of the
information I was learning about these old cars. I searched the web for
useful information for restoring a Vintage Ferrari, and found almost
nothing, so I decided to build a website based on a model of me being
my biggest fan. Everything you see here is what I want to see in a
Vintage Ferrari Website. I humbly admit that this site has reached
Ferrari Fans and Owners all over the world, and I'm very proud of what
I've done.
Although I love running this site as much as I love working on my cars,
love doesn't pay the bills! Updating, maintaining, and administrating a
forum keeps me busy enough, let alone working on cars to write about!
I've struggled for years trying to decide if I should charge for the
benefits of this site, as people pay for magazine subscriptions for
only monthly delivery of content. I want to keep the information and
access available to everyone, but feel it is time to ask for some
support. I've decided to try a sort of "pledge drive" for the month of
December where if people who feel this site offers something worthwhile
can send money in support of my efforts. You can send money via <a target="_blank" href="http://www.paypal.com">Paypal</a> to my account
tom@tomyang.net , or send checks made out to "Tomyang.net LLC" to the
address below:

I thank you in advance for your support, and hope to continue bringing
this website and forum for many years to come!
Tom
