All this talk of Wool Jersey's financial needs and whether Dale might have the space to host such an endeavor seems to beg the question "How is Dale's site doing?" I know the recession has hit at Dale's shop and I wonder how the site he maintains and his expenses hosting this list are doing at this moment? I realize he has a couple of good Sponsors, but I'm sure they are getting clobbered, too. Forgive me, Dale, for asking this question publicly rather than in a private post, but are you going in the hole , too? If so, perhaps we need to figure out a way to make hosting such lists and sites less of a burden.
Should we be sending donations to Dale too? Would a small fee for membership on this list (Perhaps a voluntary one so as not to harm those of us who are between a rock and hard spot right now) be an appropriate thing? I'd like to hear from Dale on this, and then I think it would be good if others chime in with some input on the matter if appropriate.
Again, Dale, I am not trying to put you on the spot, but I do have a concern that maybe we should all be sponsors and that it is not fair to put so much burden on so few shoulders. Especially when it has been so lovingly carried all these years.
