Well, it cost me $1,395.56.  It's there whether I get the money back or
not, but in a perfect world I'd have probably preferred to keep my own
contribution to more like $600 ($50/mo for the 12 months covered).  So I
wouldn't mind getting some back if people want to help.

If you want to help, feel free to email me privately and I'll give you my
snail mail address so you can send a check.  Note that that would just be
money going back into my bank account to make up what I spent, it's not a
tax-deductible donation to anything at this point.  Alternately, if you
want/need your contribution to be tax-deductible, just make a contribution
to the North Texas Food Bank at http://www.ntxfoodbank.org/ and forward me
a copy of the email receipt they'll send you.  I give to them regularly so
if you give to them and let me know I'll just consider that a gift in my
place instead.  Make sense?
