NPR quandary

bjarvisOur two local NPR stations, WAMU and WETA, are deeply embedded in their annual fund-raising drive at the moment. On the one hand, I would like to give them financial support as I listen to both avidly. On the other hand, I abhor the idea of being placed on yet another mailing list; both stations also routinely sell their mailing lists to other organizations. I get far, far too much junk mail already.
I wish NPR had a method of accepting donations anonymously. I feel like running up to the station door at 2 AM, taping a $100 bill to the door, ringing the doorbell and running like hell before anyone sees me.

the tracked addresses are a good idea too. I'd even harrumph at them if THEY send you paper-spam to the tracked address.
ah, the beg-a-thon season, aint it grand!
