You're all invited to a Holiday Party! We're having a funding drive to keep these lists running. For the last year we've been running due to one person paying for the list costs. This has to end. If we get enough, they'll keep going. If we don't they'll just shut down some day and eventually you'll wonder why you're "not getting any email from the list lately". So pretend you're out at a holiday party with DBA and buy it a couple of craft brews or snifters, as that's all it'll take if everyone joins the party. Rest assured, DBA can handle as many drinks as it gets. And in any case, it'll take a taxi home.
