My first response was to get out the cheque book for my US$ account but
then I thought about what Mark said about a "batch". So here's my offer:
Any Canadians wishing to contribute other than through their own US$
account are invited to forward their Canadian$ cheques to me at the address
below. I will convert the cheques to US$, deposit them to my US$ account
and send Mark one cheque with a listing of the contributors and the amounts
(before and after conversion). If the majority of you think it would be
wise (as a check and balance of my honesty <S>) I could also publish that
same list of contributors to the Spitfire List so you know that Mark got
the money.
Let me know if you think this is a worthwhile effort.
Cheers
Keith
