Snippy, aren't we? Usually it is better to have basic logic
straight before you try for a mistaken sense of haughtiness.
Let me see if I can point out the logical flaws in words with
few syllables. Yes, Red Cross goes out hat in hand; but it is not a
requiremnt to volunteer at the Red Cross. Indeed, Red Cross often
pays people who do the work -- and goes asking money from others --
in this case, it would be users like you who would be asked to pay,
were we to take the red cross paradigm.
Most of the other organizations you talk about are social
clubs, where you pay for the privilege of inclusion. I am damned If
I am going to pay for the privilege of cutting into my sleep and
leisure time to spen 20+ hours a week slaving away at Debian.
