Crowd funding, more to it than meets the eye.

Hi Val
Sadly, I heard on France Inter yesterday evening ( program: "le téléphone
sonne"; 7 pm; very profitable to listen to) that crowd-funding societies can
have hidden purposes. 1st) they stay hidden behind the object of the
funding; you don't really know who is acting. 2nd) they raise 10% of the
money collected. 3rd) one may wonder where that 10% goes...
That is why I much prefer your way of functionning at taglines, and that is
why I gave a cheque directly to Aurèle Letricot, benefit of her art and
patrimony libraire "Le Tracteur Savant", due to open this saturday in Saint
Antonin. (Please will you remind it to your readers) ...
And thanks for correcting my post before it goes "on the air".

Val says it needs no correction Nadette, perhaps a bit of explanation. The programme "telephone sonne"    is a France Inter phone in, widely listened to here by the French.
Crowd funding is a way of raising money for a project, Malc says you will all know that as it happens world wide. The  "Tracteur Savant" bookshop covering art and culture opens at St. Antonin this week end and Nadette would prefer paying direct to Aurèle Letricot ( to help get it off the ground) rather than send a cheque to the crowd funding site.
