As with most things past a certain time in life, when idealism has burnt away, it comes down to the money. Over time I've built up a system which no longer requires much of my time to maintain, but the hosting charges are a - small but increasingly cumulative and constant - burden on my bank balance, particularly now at a time when I'm trying to get my own business going (seems some of that idealism has stuck around)...

So yes. Donations help. But are most definitely not expected, nor taken for granted. Or, indeed, taken to indicate that I will do anything more than keep the site open and operational.
