I, for instance: with privoxy, noscript, and other such web filters, I had no idea you started running ads, until you said so. I wonder if paypal publishes statistics about how much money goes through their online tip jars - the ones that more indigent/serious causes use for fundraising. It's not micropayments from third parties, but voluntary lump sums from the users. Maybe the next big idea will come from the same genius who came up with the warped concept of gift certificates and quarter-entrapping shopping carts.
