On February 2nd, 2004 we launched the first GWJ donation drive. Sean Sands titled the post ‘A Brief Distraction’ because while we were both deeply uncomfortable with asking for financial support, we also knew that to make the website truly sustainable it would have to at least pay for itself if it was going to stand the test of time. Two days after that post was made, Facebook launched.
Welcome folks, and happy “1,070th Anniversary of Ratherius being appointed bishop of Liege, and 1,068th Anniversary of Ratherius being driven out of Liege” week!
