JMHO.
We agree to disagree then. We don't have badges in colors designating who donated what if they donated at all. I'm on a forum that does that since 2007 and I don't have a badge ... since I never chose to donate. It is optional there, here, and on any forum I'm on that has that feature.

As Nelson Rockefeller famously said, "There is no such thing as a free lunch." Somebody is paying for it. Nobody is getting rich from donations helping cover their cost for providing forums such as this one.
