OK, guys... I think it would be helpful if I had a final statement on this. I've talked to both Michael and Dave and they are both in on this, not by their own lobbying or choice, but because they have humbly accepted. We aren't going to take this to any other people... just the two of them. If for some reason more money is raised than is needed, then I guess they'll get a case or something... but we aren't going to complicate it by trying to figure out how to take it beyond the two of them. Here are the rules.

- This is a "thank you" from the PPH users for all the work done on the i730 front and the benefit they received in the past
- There is no commitment of either of them, or the site, to deliver anything in return for the donations. If they received the i760s and disappeared the next day, then everyone should still be comfortable with their donation, otherwise don't donate.
- The reason that Dave and Michael are in this, is that they had a unique contribution to the forum for the i730... above and beyond the normal membership or moderator duties... this is not to say that there aren't hundreds of other people that have contributed as well, just that these two guys uniquely contributed.
- Donations will be made via Paypal, with a total amount to be determined based on the retail price of the i760 without a contract (times 2).
- The site will match donations given... so your dollars are doubled. (I will take care of this at the end, rather than trying to deal with it on a donation by donation basis)
- This is a one time thing... no implication that it will be done again in the future.

I am assuming that the original poster, tsatryan will manage the donations. If he is not willing, then we can use my business Paypal account, but I'd rather stay out of it. Prior to this starting, however, I'd like tsatryan to send me his personal contact info via PM, just so the site administration has some way to reach him if there are any issues that arise. Given that a member will be managing the funds, the site is not responsible for the funds, their security, or assuring that they make it to Michael and Dave. As a site member, I trust that a member with a standing history and reputation her is trustworthy, and as I said... I will confidentially get and retain personal contact info prior to the donations beginning.

So, don't donate unless you are OK with these terms... I'll now turn this back over the original poster to get it going.
