You may have noticed that the comments are back up. It took longer than it should have, for which I apologize.

Over the last two years, you provided the funds for ADvindicate to establish itself as a 501(c)3 non-profit, which benefits future supporters by allowing all donations to be tax deductible.

These conventions help bring greater awareness and increased readership.
