One of the problems is probably the rhythm of the fundraiser. Jimbo stepped in as he would normally do several weeks later. One would till then see the bar running up to the number WMF was trying to reach - and may be decide to actually make WMF reach its target. The present campaign is extremely personalised and it has cancelled the "what we need / and what we have" question. The reactions on the present campaign are as personal reaching from satire to the odd individual (as now seen) trying to bring his own person into the game. Olaf
