[Jon Dugan]

  Hmm.  That didn't come out as clearly as I had intended.  

  I am happy to help out financially by going in on a purchase of  some
  equipment for the use of the community.

  In addition I'd like to bring a node up at my house.  I should be able to
  provide my own equipment for the node.

  Two seperate things, not at all dependent on one another...
