You must know that this is not the case. I should be much surprised if I 
were the only one to appreciate the highly complicated work you do, of 
which the results sometimes are hard to grasp in their immediate effect. 
But that does not diminish their value for the project at all, and 
unless I’m much mistaken nobody currently working on LilyPond could 
rival your understanding of the internals and your ability to fix them. 
I do not think one can construe a link between the work you do and the 
sudden (?) decrease of funding; indeed, you continue to make quite 
impressive and important changes.
I have taken so much profit from your work that it’s about time I gave 
something back. It can’t be as much as I’d certainly like to give, but 
if I don’t remain the only one to take part, it will make a difference. 
Please tell me (privately, I assume) where to direct the support. (You 
probably know that I live in Germany.)

Yours sincerely, Simon
