I too think this place is too special for any of us to take for granted. Thanks Nigel for all your hardwork and dedication to our little community.
These days very little comes for free and yet Synthzone whilst probably the most valuable place I visit on the net remains free and open to all.
When this topic came up a while ago Nigel said he was considering putting up a PayPal button for people who wanted to contribute. I have been keeping my eyes peeled but no button yet!
I am sure that if you did this NIgel you would be pleasantly surprised by the support you recieve. You have never asked 'us' for anything and yet tirelessly work to keep all this up and running for us all.
I can understand your hesitation in passing round the cap but it looks like we insist that you do
I suggest PayPal as that makes it so much easier for us peeps not in the USA but really any system you choose would be fine....as long as we can show our appreciation.
I could even appropriate a racing pigeon and attach some moolah to it's delicate little leg if needs must!! Just grab the cash, give it a drink and send it home

Very best to you Nigel and thanks again
Tony
