I've not seen anything to suggest that adywan is sending out DVDs in exchange for "donations"
Well, I didn't say that; but it's not even the point. The point is that the donations are intended SECONDARILY to support the completion of the project. Let's not be obtuse: You cannot secure a copy of the DVD until the project is finished, and--if I am not mistaken--Adywan indicated that the donations would be helpful as a means to this end (i.e., MPEG-2 encoding and DVD authoring).
If I donate money to Adywan, it's not because I want to improve his computer equipment. It is because I want a copy of the DVD. End of story.
Really, there is no need to drag this out. I believe I made my point and we seem to agree that these public threads should resist references to PayPal accounts and "gifts." Adywan will be the target of much criticism, and there's not much he can do about it. But posting in THIS forum that he is 'waiting for payments to clear' rings a bit pretentious in my ears, is obvious fodder for his enemies and--frankly--"boggles the imagination" (Ron?).
