While two first-rate professors with a top-grade economics & culture blog are holding out their hats to pay for bandwidth, we at T&B have way too much pride for that.
So let me be clear on the T&B donation policy:
1. I don't want your damn money. Thanks, anyway!
2. I don't need your damn money. Thankfully!
3. I prefer that you leave a comment rather than click on an ad.
4. If you insist on sending a donation to me or a coblogger, then do so.
I blogged when it was free, and I blogged when it cost me money. But thanks to these folks, T&B is currently a positive cash-flow enterprise. No, I do not distribute dividends to cobloggers, because their posts aren't driving the revenue. If they were, I would.
Someday, this money source may disappear, but so be it. We will still have no paypal link, no amazon suggestions, no begging--just Google ads, which you don't click on.
Thank you for your patronage.
Kevin,
you beat me to it. I was also thinking the same
when i saw Tyler's post requesting for donations.
Fully agree with T&B policy on donations;
we should keep with the spirit of blogoshphere
of being a free source of ideas & information

I am, in the end, a hopeless idealist...
Btw, do you know who this maldives blogger is?
