Dear Readers,
UPDATED 1:33 P.M. EDT (OCT. 25, U.S.A.) Please note: This post originally was published Saturday (Sept. 29) in this spot and has been republished several other times here. We changed the headline because the need has become dire and the absence of funds puts the Blog at risk of suspending publication by Oct. 31.
The need this month is on the order of $475. As of today, only $170 has come in.
All stories in September were made possible by a small handful of readers. The posts this month to date also have been made possible by readers.
Please help if you’re able.

Contributions remain at $50. Two of my usual stalkers were here this morning — silent for now, but no doubt getting ready to revel in the event it all goes asunder.
One of the stalkers now has become an inspirational figure to other stalkers — the result being repeated bids to poison the well across multiple forums. Indeed, the emerging strategy is to try to intimidate the operators of multiple antifraud forums.
Some would have you believe it was in the name of “freedom.” But it’s not freedom — it is the recipe for anarchy and mob rule.

Hi Patrick,
As a new reader with an equally-consuming hobby, I’d hate to see you go under just as I’ve found you. I’ll make a PayPal contribution so I can keep reading. Thanks for the important work you do.
Patrick – We truly appreciate all of your hard work and effort through the years. – Martin
Dear Martin,
It is nice to hear from you, and I am grateful for these words.
Thank you.

What’s left for the month and are you still planning on the rest of the year being covered by other sources?
Hi Gregg,
October didn’t do well and, at the first of November, I’m at the edge of the abyss. I anticipate I’ll be OK at some point this month.
Hosting and connectivity are the most pressing concerns right now.
As you know, it always comes down to a small handful of people. In any event, there will be no donation post this month or next month. Readers will see some changes that are necessary for the survival of the PP Blog going into the new year.
