@corbet @zonker Please, please please put a donation button somewhere on LWN.

It feels impossible to send you money.

@jorge @zonker Credit-card banks treat "donations" rather differently than they treat sales of a service; soliciting donations could land us in the worst kind of trouble. We've been there, many years ago, and it nearly killed LWN altogether.

Thank you for your support!

@jorge Just FYI the zonker address is defunct. That was hooked up to WP briefly. Not sure how to kill it. This or @jzb@lwn.net would work.
