Subject: Uh-Oh!

Did anyone else notice this in the HBD header this morning?

Financial Projection as of 26 January 2014

*Condition: Panicking like the kid in Home Alone*

501(c)3 status reistated.  

       Projected 2012 Budget  $3,235.00

 Expended against projection  $  195.85

      Unplanned expenditures ($    0.00)

Projected Excess/(Shortfall) ($2,126.02)

HBD, Inc. is projected to be bankrupt May 2014

(I think they meant projected 2013 budget)

I guess the decision is whether HBD is valuable enough to pony up, or if
it's time to let it die. I think it'd be a shame to lose it - even as
sporadic as the actual digests are these days - plus, I can't stand the irony
of them getting their 501(c)3 status just to go bankrupt. A sign of the
times, I guess.

For my part, as little as I have, I'm coughing up some bucks to keep it
going.
