For the love of pete. There must be something we can do. And when I say “we,” I include me in the form of money. If I were near the windy city, I’d offer manual labor as well. I know that some hard-working people are doing the best they can and providing a damn good service with what they’ve got, but it really can be better, and I’m convinced that it wouldn’t take much in time or money to get it that way.
As a businessman, I appreciate the complexities of accepting money. I suspect the biggest issue from the crack legal team is that if money is accepted then there may be an implied responsibility to keep the service running. I.e. in the off chance people paid money, and it had to be shut down the next week, perhaps the Reader could be sued.
Well I for one am willing to waive all rights to anything at all. Just give me an anonymous post office box and I’ll send what I can in cash and if that doesn’t relieve enough responsibility, I’ll sign anything. Just please throw a second server at this thing, or more memory or bring in another ISP or whatever it takes to make it better. Please.
Thank you.
