Some weeks ago, I sent out a plea for your donations; and among the responses were replies from some subscribers telling me that they don't use PayPal, and offering to send checks the old-fashioned way.

Since then I have received just one such check; and, since the mail has been unusually slow and unreliable for weeks, I'm wondering if other checks were sent, and went astray.

If you did send a check, and it hasn't been cashed, please let me know; and thank you---and all others who've been able to contribute---for your generosity.
