"Owned and operated by Robert Hsiung and not the University of Chicago"
Dr. Bob told me that "[Babble] is a good cause."
I think Dr. Bob cares.Dr. Bob has this rule that you can't ask for money from other posters. I don't know if it applies to him as well.
I like that rule because with it people won't be pressured to give or feel bad about not being able to give. There's this other site that asks for donations for certain members. I don't feel comfortable with such an idea.
Dr. Bob doesn't advertise it, but Babble has a donations and support page.
http://www.dr-bob.org/support.html
It doesn't stand out because there's no direct link to it from the main pages.
