Not quite.. What I'd advocate is that we try to buy things we need first before asking for donations. If we have money available that isn't reserved or obligated for whatever then we should use it for whatever we need. If we don't have the funding available then we can ask for donations. I don't like the idea that we've got a bunch of money, and keep getting more, but don't spend *and* continue to ask for donations. Stephen
