Rambles.NET is and will continue to be a free site. However, some folks have generously asked for means by which they can contribute to help cover the costs of operations (postage alone is a killer!), and so with that in mind we offer this method for donations through PayPal. We are, of course, incredibly grateful for any support our readers care to give. Cheers!
