No donations have actually been "voided" by the credit card processor. We still don't have all of that money, but most of it has found its way to us, and we expect to get the rest eventually.

We attempted to send email to all donors offering them free subscriptions, and many have responded. A few donors did not give us email addresses, or gave addresses that bounced. If you are one of those, please drop us a note and we'll set you up.

What are the information you needed to identify a doner? I have donated some money through cridit card, and the bill indicated it has been charged. But I did not received any email. I am not sure whether I have left any email address while doing the donation.

Anyway it does not matter. A donation is a donation. I did not expect to get a free subscription at the first place.

Just now I try to do a subscription, but get connection error? any problem?

I never got an offer, but it's no biggie.. consider my previous donation a "past due" ;)

Well, I donated and I've independently subscribed. I consider the donation retroactive subscription payment. LWN can keep it. They deserve it.

I donated, but didn't get the email (or it got filtered).

Not to worry, though. I've been a regular reader since 1998 or so, and I'd call it payment of back subscription dues.

Oh, and your subscription process is blissfuly pain free. Thanks.

This was my first transatlantic debit card operation and it went fine. 15.47€ was charged on my bank account. Until now, I thought that the Visa Electron card only works on Europe...
