$425 per month for hosting with SQL sounds like a lot. I know a couple of
smaller but respectable hosts that should be able to host the site for much
less. www.hostmysite.com is one for example.

nonetheless, i will make to donate.

PS. Does the IBC take donations? I didn't see anything on the site
about
donations, just sponsorship. The people in this forum have saved my
butt
so
many times now. I really owe everyone the health of trees (and other
plants).

Funny you should ask. Reiner (our treasurer) recently sent the following
message:

Running the List, the Gallery and our Home Page costs just short of $425
every quarter right now. This money has to be raised from the
participants on a voluntary basis. I'm glad to be able to say that we
haven't missed a payment yet. To make sure it stays that way, you can
make _your_ contribution by sending me a USD cheque made payable to
'IBC' to the following address:

14 Bruce Farm Drive,
Willowdale, Ontario, Canada
M2H 1G3

As a guide, the average contribution is about $33. Most contribute $25,
but a few very generous people bring the average up.
