Oh, I know - you're really good at walking that line, and not making demands or guilt-tripping us into it. I don't know if it comes naturally or you put some effort into it, but you often get the balance just right. It's a hell of a skill, I'm hoping some of it rubs off! =P I suspect you'd soon know if Radio Free Monday was unpopular (many café members are... not shy! In the nicest possible way, of course) but at the same time, it's your journal. If you want to signal-boost things, that's your call, just as scrolling past or not clicking is my choice.
The café in general is pretty educational, but RFM always leaves me with something to chew over. It's interesting, if nothing else, and sometimes I hear about things before they turn up in the news. (I'm always pleased when that happens, I get to feel current and well-informed for once!)
Yeah, I'm kind of reluctant to sign up for regular giving - what I could give would vary, it's the same reason I don't have a "regular payments" savings account! But it's important to do what you can, you know? So if you opt to keep up RFM, it'll be a good prompt.
TL;DR : I am in favour of RFM, but you should do what you want to your corner half of the internet. =D
