The ways of supporting this site fall into two broad categories:
give and buy. And there is a way that is completely free
if you are set up for it: link to my homepage if you have a web
page. Link to the main index: http://www.larseighner.com/ or to any
page you like. Please do not link directly to pages behind the
adult door unless the page you are linking from is inside an
adult-material warning page of your own with appropriate
child-protection filters.
For those in the Austin area who want to make in-kind donations,
there is a wish list. Much of this is
junk that some people have lying around in the garage or attic, and
the major problem is that I have no transportation and most days I
am too stove up to move ponderous stuff.
There are two other ways to make donations to this site: the Amazon Honor System, and mail.
If you have an Amazon account or
are willing to get one, you can make a contribution through the
Amazon Honor System. The Amazon Honor System is the only online
donation method at present.
If the Amazon Honor System box has your name in it it is because
you have an Amazon account and you have an Amazon cookie in the
browser you are using. I don't know who you are and my home page
doesn't know who you are. Your browser knows who you are and has
filled in information from your Amazon cookie. If it doesn't have
your name in it, either you don't have an Amazon account or your
browser doesn't have the cookie from your Amazon account, but you
can still use the Amazon Honor System to make a contribution to my
site. Click on the "Pay to Give" icon for more information (you
aren't committed to give just by clicking through). In a secure
text-browser, click "Support this site!" and then "Click here to
give!" There may be a suggested donation, but you can give from $1
to $50 by this method. If you want to give more, you can always
come back! The Amazon Honor System gives me no personal information
about you, so you get a boiler-plate thank-you e-mail. I'm sorry I
cannot send you a personalized thank-you (unless you send me email
and tell me who you are), but this system is for your
protection.
The second way is simply to mail me
cash, check, or money order (payable to Lars Eighner) to:
Lars Eighner
APT 1191
8800 N IH 35
AUSTIN TX 78753-5266
USA
Your donation doesn't buy you any extra access or anything else
tangible or intangible. Every part of all of my sites is free.
There are no password protected parts or hidden goodies. In other
words, what you see is what you get. None of your donation goes to
Patricia C. Wrede or any other person or institution that you may
see mentioned on my pages (except for the funds forwarding fees
charged by Amazon). It goes to me — or at least it passes
through my fingers before going on to my creditors. Contributions
to me are not tax deductible.
I make money if you click through one of my banners or forms to
buy stuff from Amazon or just about any of the other shops you will
see in banners and boxes on my pages. Clicking through from my site
does not increase the price of the goods to you.
Depending upon the vendor, I may make slightly more if you click
through a text link instead of a banner or box, so it will help if
you use my text link if there is one, but I don't put up the
general banners or search boxes for my health. If you are buying
stuff on the web, please consider clicking through from my pages to
make your purchases from the vendors represented on my pages.
