Yeah.  Problem with that is that "they" don't yet exist.  Apparently
donations through paypal are going to the personal paypal account of
Milton Beychok, because in the 4 years since Citizendium was founded
they never even bothered to incorporate (or even set up an
unincorporated association).  They've been using the tax ID of the
Tides Center, and the Tides Center has cut them off, for reasons which
have still not come to light.
