I have made sometimes kinda of serious donations (multiples of the suggested) for freebies in gratitude. Depends how flush I am.

I miss the "pre-commercial" days of Poser content something serious. There was some awesome generosity in the community circa 1998-2000.

Think of people like Kozoburo and Mr. Maya. Traveler, PhilC and Gerald Day. byAnton! I don't believe that was marketing at all! Just pure generosity.
