<br>
we all understand how tired you are of all the fund-drive mails.
We would not bother you with these mails, if it would not be
absolutely crucial for us to get support and funding for a new
start, at a new location, and in a new environment, virtual and
real. LINGUIST List will soon pack all its resources, even student
editors and other staff, and relocate to... well, help us make
this possible and you will be the first to know about the new
location and infrastructure!<br>
<br>
As many of you know, our subscribers number in the tens of
thousands, the more than 1.5 million individual visitors use our
web-pages, while we here at LINGUIST List are few, just a few
volunteers, student editors and programmers. Fortunately, we have
an advisory board here to assist us. The best advisory board that
you can imagine. They give us helpful feedback and act as a
sounding board for new initiatives and developments here (such as
our new website, app development, and language localizations) at
The LINGUIST List. This year, they have also pledged to give <b>$4,000</b>
if YOU--yes, that's all of our subscribers--can double it!<br>
<br>
Can you help us double their pledge of <b>$4000</b>?<br>
<br>
Will you help them invest in our future? We believe that with
enough support through your donations, we can continue to realize
the dream of being a freely available, open resource for the
worldwide linguistic community.<br>

<br>
Our small group of advisors has pledged to donate <b>$4000</b> if
the thousands of people who visit our site each day can double
this and donate <b>$8000</b>. While we could fill a large stadium
with all of you who visit our site, our advisors don't even fill a
classroom! And yet they stand before you with this challenge,
daring LINGUIST's thousands of subscribers to match the donations
of just a few heroic people.<br>
<br>
Can you meet this challenge? We think you can -- give what you can
now, and let's see if you can contribute <b>$8,000 in 48 hours</b>
to END our 2014 fund drive!<br>
