Is Shameless Begging Allowed On DU?

[chiburb]

If so, I would encourage everyone to at least consider helping fellow DUer "Maha" keep her brilliant blog up and running. It is a VAST archive of the BFEE, daily links to must-read articles, and (usually) daily news analysis and editorial. Maha also has contributed articles to DU's front page, and she's often providing historical perspective to discussions in GD or LBN.
Anyway, she's in Day 2 of a fundraiser. You can check her blog here: http://www.mahablog.com/

(If this type of post is verboten at DU, please accept my apologies. My thinking was that we share opinions and passions about MANY things here, and Maha happens to be one of mine.)

1. Shameless begging is acceptable for the following items only

1. Sex
2. Election campaigns of DUers
3. Anything not covered by the first two

Okay? That's it. No more shameless begging except for those three, er, exceptions!

5. Maha's site is painfully slow if...

You're on dial-up. She has a ton of graphics that take forever to load.
