Dear PuristS' Patrons,

Thank you sincerely for your support, it is very much appreciated.  Up to this point, ThePuristS has been completely funded by one individual, me.  All of our administrators and moderators are, up to this point, volunteers and receive no monetary or other consideration for their hard work and long hours, other than the satisfaction of a job well done.  This is truly a labour of love, first and foremost.

Many kind "old timers" have emailed me asking how they can help, and so far, we have come up with this Patron's Program - we will use all money's received to cover the fixed expenses of the site, and to the continued development and growth of the site.  As we build up enough regular revenue flow, we will also begin to pay the site administrators for their time and efforts, but this is likely to be some ways off.

All contributions are greatly appreciated, but it has been mentioned that some guidelines would be helpful; most Patrons have been contributing in the amounts of $125, $250, or $500.

There are several ways to send the contribution - 

PayPal: I have a PayPal account set up to receive contributions funded by paypal balances or direct withdrawal from a pre-approved bank account.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS PAYPAL ACCOUNT CANNOT ACCEPT CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS.



PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS PAYPAL ACCOUNT CANNOT ACCEPT CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS.

By US bank check, or international bank sight draft denominated in US Dollars - 

Please make the check or sight draft payable and mailed to

Wire transfers:  I'd prefer not to use wire transfers at this time due to fees and processing delays, but have found that international bank sight drafts in US Dollars are convenient and safe, though perhaps a little longer to process and receive.  Please email with any suggestions or questions.

Thank you again for your support. We have many more exciting developments to come, and these contributions will help greatly to see them to fruition.

Sincerely,

TM
