Here's a thought...everyone turn off your monitors, and then try to count the number of potential bad deals you avoided with the help of the BOI. Now put a dollar amount on each deal. Got a number? I'm sure the BOI would appreciate a thank-you.
My impression of those suggestions is that people just don't want to contribute...but maybe they will if they absolutely have to in order to keep the BOI operational. Basically, if enough other people pick up the slack & contribute enough to just barely meet some arbitrary goal, they won't have to reach into their pockets.
