About twice a year, I ask readers for donations to keep the site going. My last request was in January, and I appreciate all who donated.

It's time for me to ask again. TalkLeft is not an inexpensive venture, especially considering it is a hobby. I have been personally funding the site for 11 years, and since I eliminated paid advertisements a few years ago, the amount has been substantial.

Eventually, I will move the site to Wordpress and use a shared server to reduce costs, but we still haven't found a viable export solution for the 11 years of posts.

If you appreciate the time and effort that goes into my research and writing, or read and comment here frequently, I'd sincerely appreciate a contribution of whatever amount you are comfortable with donating. All amounts, even a few dollars, are welcome.

You can use Paypal, which also takes credit cards.

Thanks to all of you.
