Hi Andrew:
A couple of other hosting options have come up from the Snitz community forum that I am investigating, though it still may go to a dedicated server on GoDaddy. Once it becomes clear where we are going with the forum, I will let everyone know. The cost of a virtual dedicated server on GoDaddy is $30-35/month, depending on the length of commitment -- not cheap.
On donations, there was a donation page on the AYP Geocities site for about six months last year. It netted $13 from one kind person and some negative PR from others who were not so kind. Everyone else ignored it, so I ended the donation page when the first AYP book came out. Since then, one person has stepped forward with a generous unsolicited donation, for which I am very grateful. I will also be grateful if others are inclined to do the same, but I am not comfortable advertising publicly for it anymore.
Any other donations that do come, if ever, I request be for value perceived to have been received already, not for anything expected to happen in the future. That way, there cannot be any misunderstandings about it. What would be ideal would be if the word got around without me having to solicit. I still have a
www.paypal.com account using the yogani99@yahoo.com email address. Haven't checked it for some time. Gee, maybe there is a fortune in it! Not likely.
Thanks for your concern on money matters. It is a concern here too. So I keep writing...
The guru is in you.

PS -- I would not be opposed to seeing this topic moved to AYP helpers at some point. If so inclined, one of you can move it with an appropriate message at the end, posted after the move. As long as it is not me asking for money. Somehow that does not fit into the equation for this work anymore. I feel that balancing of the financial equation has to come freely from the other side, or not at all. It is an energy thing related to receiving and giving. It should come naturally from within, like everything else we do here.
