Because some of us may have a personal interest in the matter? Or even just a not-too-well-founded opinion? Since when has relevance or appropriateness ever come into it? :green:

I don't think Alex Plank has ever resiled from the position that Wrong Planet, and Aspie Affection as well, are part of a privately-owned business enterprise. Certainly whenever someone on WP raises a demand that Alex or the site should do this or that thing, or be more proactive, or act in a way more representative of its membership, or in the so-called "interests of the community," the response has always been "It's Alex's site, and it's his to do with as he sees fit."  Does he have a duty of disclosure, in that case, to account for any monies received through voluntary donations? Seems unlikely to me. I'm not a lawyer, however.

Once again it's the classic caveat emptor. It's up to the people making the donations to determine whether or not they are receiving any value in return for their "investment."

Yeah, i've heard that before!
