1.  I don't know what a personal paypal account is?  Can you explain how is that
different from the one the Venturists set up with paypal before paypal started 
confiscating money in the Venturist account?


2.  You, or any contributor, can get a check or cheque (in the US called a 
cashier's check or money order) at any bank or convenience store in the US - I 
assume you can get them in Belgium.  You stop in give them some cash and they 
give you the check made out to whoever you ask them to.


The tone of your message seems like we don't want to take paypal. We would love 
to, but we cannot subject the money of the contributors to having it confiscated
again.  

3.  I am going to ask Mark Plus to look into wire transfers.
