People here were complaining about me choosing to give
their money to charitable causes rather than using it
to purchase beer or other debauchery.

So, I came up with a scheme to allow people who wanted
to make a "contribution" to the work to do so by purchasing
"consulting" time. You can either purchase a certain
amount of consulting and "donate" it to the cause, or
you can use it for "real" consulting. That is, you
are free to ask a question of me, etc. The choice is
yours.

I am, quite honestly, astonished at how many people
*are* making a contribution. It warms my heart considerably. :-)

But, it is not necessary and you are free to purchase
whatever is for sale on the store and not think twice
about the starving person who is producing it for you. ;-)

The "options" just give you an easy way to add some
of these "extra" considerations.

Cheers,

David
