I’m glad you shared, so that more of us are made aware of the sacrifices and effort Mel has been putting in....It should be obvious, but it’s easy to take something, even something good like this website, for granted, and not understand the enormity of what it entails, to run..
Maybe your idea of charging a site access fee/membership dues, or something is a good idea. Perhaps there could be more people who could step alongside Mel, to lighten the load...maybe there would be members/previous members from this site, who could volunteer to help out in their region.
In other words, if someone were from a particular region/state, perhaps they could be a contact person/point of contact/volunteer to mentor/reach out to people in that particular area. Or, perhaps there could be a group of volunteers that could each take a particular week/month that they help Mel with anything that needs help, with the site.
I do believe that Mel is fulfilling a purpose that is so important, and overlooked, and clearly a calling. But, there’s no reason it couldn’t be pared down to a manageable level, if volunteers could come forth, or Mel could be compensated financially, to survive.
Regardless, you’re right, it’s a lot for one person.
