Webby,
Of course no pressure on anyone was or is intended.About those omnipresent opportunities to donate:
I do think people like to feel part of a group effort. For example, people can and do donate to the Red Cross at any time, and one assumes the help is always welcome, but when someone throws a benefit effort, donations pour in all at once.
I hope I made it clear I started the pledge thread(s) on my own, not because you were asking, and only after people agreed they wanted to give support. I also hope you don't mind.
I threw in the DAW incentive because, well, the site is full of em.
