If I want to learn about a subject, I usually buy a few books on it, but there is plenty I have learned from Subsim in terms of queries about submarines and much more besides, and that probably extends way beyond what I might have learned from perhaps one of the books that I have bought, which may have cost ten or twenty quid. So when you view it like that, making a donation is a small price to pay. And it is not as if you cannot do it without getting something for your efforts either if you prefer that to a pure donation, buying a copy of the Almanac is one, as is making other purchases via the site.

And here is another good reason to do so, especially if you are not in the US: Currently, the Dollar stands at 2.11 Dollars to Sterling, which means if you are in the UK (and most of Europe for that matter), your donation will go a long way.

Anyway, I'm off to put my money where my mouth is...

I donated awhile ago simply because I first stumbled accross this site when playing SH2 and since I have downloaded more mods then an expansion pack could fit. Mind you that's over Sh2, SH3 and SH4 but I felt it was time to support the site that supports my games.




Plus I wanted a cool avatar. :rotfl:
