Something I tried to make a habit of back when I was a productive member of 
society, before the 3-years-and-counting battle with Social Security 
started, was to pay an extra site fee/and or feast fee, and ask the Gatekeeper 
(c'mon, it's usually a beautiful lady taking our money, do we *really* want to 
call them "trolls"?) to use it for a first-timer or a large family or someone 
struggling to cover the fees.
