I don't think asking for donations to support a free service is passing the point of kindness and a willingness to help. I take it as a man who's trying to keep a service he truly believes in free, and ad/intrusiveness free.

But, I'm a fool who still believes people do things out of the kindness of their hearts at times without a desire to profit. I admit, it's a downfall and a personality trait I sometimes wish I could do away with.
