    3. ...tracked by us. Meaning, unless you tell me, I will not know if you do or do not donate.

Just to be clear, that information is available to the coders. The amount is in our database, as can be seen on your profile page.

But tng is right. We won't ever tell him. :)

Ha. I used my admin account and looked at thenewgreen (a $5 donor) and didn't see the amount on their (my) profile, which led me to believe that you'd have to do some code digging to see the numbers on a per user basis. I find it hard to believe any of us will be doing that. Aggregate info, yes. User specific info, not likely.
