I realize for many, time stands still when gazing at Jimmy's fuzzy visage. But the 2010 campaign lasted 50 days; not even close to four months.

I see you did not even read the link that sparked this very thread.

You're right that I didn't read the article completely -- I skimmed, since its premise is pretty straightforward; the results of WP's fundraiser was $16 mil. My replies have much more to do with the parent comment and why I don't donate to Wikimedia in general than the specific incident reported here.

I will believe if you say it was only fifty days, I know no differently other than my estimate above, which was apparently wrong. Sorry. It did seem much longer, you're right.
