And this particular action I think is a good one, but suppose next time someone proposes to send out an email to 10,000,000 email addresses a few times, saying how great Wikipedia is. Then I would want him/her to be told that we'd not be happy with it to say the least. Andre Engels

I wonder if it wouldn't be better, though, to think of a keyword to advertise the Wikimedia Foundation's 'ask for money' site, so that perhaps this 50 Euro donation might be leveraged into a lot more? I know it's a bit crude in the hallowed confines of Wikipedia to talk about such things as return on investment, but the concepts are valid, even in a non-profit context. But if someone is volunteering to do something that will benefit Wikipedia at their own expense, that's something that makes me very happy. --Jimbo
