The FORGE "story" WILL become a lot more interesting when someone does "step up" to the plate and makes a sizable gift (or when a lot of small gifts become significant). If ever there was a time to get off the fence, it's now. If you want visibility because of your gift (and I would assert that there is nothing wrong with that), than this is an especially good time to step up to the plate. If you don't want to draw attention to yourself, do it anonymously. Either way your gift may be much more than just the dollar amount. It will validate this experiment (at least in part), give the media story a bit more traction, and inspire others potentially to give. (Kjerstin... chalk me up for 2 more cents) My comment is simple.
