[kwlug-disc] FLOSS fund candidate: Red Cross, Haiti relief fund

[unsolicited]

I mean no disrespect, I disagree this is a valid kwlug floss fund 
candidate.

I don't disagree the worthiness of the cause. There will always be 
worthy causes.

As you point out, people can contribute in other ways than the floss fund.

It's another slippery slope here, for the floss fund.
