Maintaining the faucet isn't a big drain on my time@p{--} most days I don't think about it. @p{par}

Given the number of newbies who wander into #bitcoin-dev and mention they got 0.05 BTC from the faucet, I think it is still valuable as a nice introduction to using bitcoin. @p{par}

And Jim:  thanks!  Without donations the Faucet would have run out of coins long ago... @p{brk}
