Don't hold your breath -- I can think of at least a thousand worthy
charities (not to even mention individuals) I'd donate to, before giving
you one eurocent, if I had money burning holes in my pockets.  The evil,
perverted way in which you distort pypy's inexplicable difficulties in
contacting me (when I've exchanged mails on a different subject, less
than a month ago, with the CEO of one of the consortium's companies)
into me "refusing to pick up checks", would be funny if it weren't just
too pathetic.
