Torrent sites should never ever sell ratio power for money and then falsely apply the misnomer "donation" as though it were a donation to downplay the sale of copyrighted material; which is what it is!

U2Lynne,
I'm not trying to be adversarial and I commend that you are trying to restore some peace and civility.
