<blockquote type="cite" cite>CC is facing the need to meet the IRS's
"public support" test. At stake is its charitable
status. We have received generous Foundation
support, but need to show a more diverse donor base. The
deadline is December 31 and we have a way to go. If 200
cyberprofs could give $100 each, it would be extraordinarily
helpful. (And if done soon, each dollar will be matched by a
challenge donor) You can do it online at <a
