     @luis_in_brief We did attach a memorial plaque for the generous donor who paid to replace a broken stall door.

     @jwz obviously like other great San Francisco techno-cultural institutions EFF and Wikipedia, you need a @craignewmark memorial toilet

     @jwz how have the suicide-proof toilets been there for *twenty-three years*, I remember reading your post agonizing over making the decision to put them in originally!

     Sorry to hear about the drain woes. I do hope you find a generous and heroic plumbing patron.

     @eigen My experience with small-ticket crowdfunding is that if you're taking $20 donations you're not gonna reach a 5-digit goal. And it's a ton of effort to discover that. So, no.

     Now, if there were half a dozen big-ticket donors who wanted to split this, that would work... But trying to wrangle hundreds of small donations for something like this seems impractical.

     But if you want to contribute to the General Fund, every little bit helps!

     @jwz are you gonna do crowd-funding for this? or are you hoping for a lone, heroic, benefactor? If the former, I'm willing to pitch in
