First your not expected to donate, its not a donation is a purchase of a service. Not unlike any other service you purchase. Your not buying stock or shares in the site your purchasing ability's and operating freedoms with in the site.

Don't think of it a something that is being used to manipulate or swindle people. You Pay $XX.XX you get XXXXXXXX thats as far as the transaction goes.

It's a great site and I wouldn't be where I am with my collection today without it but you'll have to understand I have issues with throwing out money when I have no idea what it is being used for.
Its being used to run the site.
