Sounds kinda scary, really - I think I'd break the donation blocks
into more manageable chunks (and make the one year membership just a
bit more - $10 is almost not even worth the handling fee).

I'm assuming you're not serious in that particular paragraph (and if you
were, I'd demand $1,000,000 a year for the right to cross-post to as many
mailing lists as they wanted - I HATE that :).
