I would like to bring you back in time when I said that I am against the
money. Parabola was at first a mate adventure and continue to be one.

I have no doubt about fauno and would be really pleased that you the
people of that community get time to think of some important points:

This project offer us many things from personnal being to knowledge.

Nowadays thanks GNU and thanks Parabola because I have a job and that
job comes from the knowledge all people of GNU shared with me and offer
me the chance of practicing.

Afaik from the day money comes here, it change many things from the
share of practicing essential part of the project to the reason why
people act.

Speaking of people act, the first part of that mail comes from nowhere
so that mean a private exchange around a public situation.

The dark corner of the money are just like this:

"Dark corners are basically fractal—no matter how much you illuminate,
there’s always a smaller but darker one."   -— Brian Kernighan

Money must be kicked out from that place and never comes back.

Yes the project need money for servers and many other things, but get
time to understand that we load and run it during many years without
donation rules, just on the point of discussion.

Parabola is a great school art works and fauno his pillar.
