Well, $2000 is a small amount for a corporation, but it's a very large 
amount for an individual.  I seriously think that donors like Gevik, who 
gives us around $400 a year of his personal money in addition to 
contributing time, deserve some extra recognition.

I agree that having a threshold for listing on the website is sensible, 
I'd just like to have that threshold a little lower than you would.
