Yes, I do. I give them $3 a month. It's one of the lowest amounts. I also support three public radio stations and a couple of other charities. The scoop on Wikipedia, just interjecting here and I'll hand it back to you, is that, as they say, if only less fewer than 2% of Wikipedia users give anything. It's a shame how little they actually need to remain independent. The alternative is they'll have to resort to advertising and then their content will be inevitably controlled by the advertisers, which is one of the best things about Wikipedia is nobody has a hand in the pie, so to speak, and if only, I think they say that if only two percent people gave like something like, something ridiculous, I would like only take two percent of the people who use Wikipedia give like a dollar and seventy cents per month to support Wikipedia and meet all of their needs. I use Wikipedia a lot and I feel like I unfortunately have a pretty small income. I have an income, I'm a pensioner, as they say in the UK, and I've got a veterans pension and a social security pension and they add up to what would be on the low side of most social security pensions, but I'm doing fine. One of the things that I wish I could do would be to be more generous with charities. I love using Wikipedia and I would pay them more if I weren't feeling like I was spreading myself too thin, but back to you Michael.
