I didn't respond instanty Ron as your post seems to suggest we should have one, as i've been working out how much it has cost me for the pictures I've added to PoE since 2004 and were taken especially for PoE.  A rough estimate has to be in the region of £20,000/ $34,000, not a penny of which has ever come from any one ever.  So,  I shall donate to the site and I'll also donate all/any money that I have earned off the site which has happened in the past as  well so Chris and Sarah receive 100% commision effectively. I shall also donate a percetnage of any money I receive free from anywhere else/ anyone else, but don't get your hopes up too high on this one---the last 2 decades that's has been £nil---but who knows?   Can't say fairer than that can I?

Friends,

The idea is to brain storm ways that POE might be able to fund the operating cost of this site that we all love so much, not to try to guilt anyone into doing more than their financial situation allows.

I haven't met Chris and Sarah in person but I think the last thing they would want is for this to turn into anything ugly.

Paul, I had to read your post a couple of times before I think I understand. The one thing that is clear is that you have said you will donate to the POE website, and for that I thank you sincerely.When C&S have enough funds to get the work done, they will be offering a facility where you can sell your pics from the site. It is hoped that it will generate an income for you as well as POE, so don't be getting too generous with your offer, for you might live to regret it!

Thank you Paul for responding and the offer of a donation.

Ron

Rick, I was referring to the opportunity for all who submit pics to the site to be able to sell them via the site. In that event POE would make a commission also.
