Actually, the rule about not commenting on ads is a regulation--it *reduces* capitalistic freedom (which has as it core premise the free flow of market information).
I wonder why LFF goes down so much?

Do you seriously think people pay money just for access to the galleries? I pay money to support the site.

Agreed.
Take a look at the Ferrania Kickstarter thread at how many members are willing to donate to that campaign and not to supporting this site?
It constantly amazes me that people are so willing to let Sean do all of the heavy lifting.

How do you know "all" of those who claimed to have donated to the Ferrania cause actually did so?
When you make a pledge to a Kickstarter campaign, you authorize your credit card for the amount of the pledge. If the campaign makes its goal, the charge is put through. It's possible that a few people go to the trouble of reversing the charge, of course, but I doubt it's that common. It's not as if pledgers get some kind of recognition or benefit from pledging without making good.
So they have some sort of published list of pledgers?
That would be up to the organizers of the project. It's not structured like, say, a public radio pledge drive, where people make a promise and can back out easily. You're actually authorizing the charge at the time of the pledge, and you don't get any recognition before the campaign is completed. Some projects acknowledge the contributors, like listing all the backers in the credits of a movie project or on the website for some product, but obviously, they aren't going to acknowledge people who reversed the charge on their credit cards. If the campaign makes the goal, the charges are processed. If it doesn't, the authorizations are allowed to expire.
So, there's no current way to know if "all" of those who've claimed they pledged funds to Ferrania are telling the truth?
Only the organizers can verify that, but what do you think is the likelihood that some significant number of people who charge their credit cards to a kickstarter campaign go to the trouble to reverse the charge later on?
I'm not saying they'll reverse their CC charges. I'm saying "some" who claim to have donated may not have. Why would they donate to Ferrania when they don't bother to donate to APUG?
I guess every state has a county or parish that claims to have started 4H. Wherever it started it has been beneficial. Some of the kids that I went to high school with won enough money showing their show cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens to pay part or all of their tuition in college. My 75 cents an hour after school job was not near as lucrative though you could buy a new Kodak Baby Brownie (127 film) for 75 cents at most any drugstore. Some drugstores even sold chemicals and Velox paper......RegardsWhere I just moved to (Page County Iowa) claims to be where 4H started! And it was first 3H. No clue what the Hs stand for, but I think I used to know. Most of my friends in grade school were in 4H - we had to schedule Girl Scouts around it. Central NYS - dairy country.
