There's a reason for seeing no smiley faces.
So far, smiley faces have not been given to USA contributors to the
OLC. I was one of the first to ask the OLC to provide a method of
contributing outside of Europe, and know half a dozen or so pilots who
have contributed using the method Hannes came up with (Amazon.com) and
have no smiley face.

A message from Soaring Society of America - OLC:
We appreciate your OLC donation.
Donation balances over $7 are tax deductable. If you have donated
$250 or more please contact us at . The SSA needs your
name and address for federal tax purposes.
Thanks and good flying,
SSA-OLC Committee

If you contribute, you will get a "smiley face" when you make a flight
claim. At this moment, very few of those who log their flights have a
smiley face before their name, and pilots need to give the small
financial support required to keep the OLC functioning.

I asked Doug Haluza about this at the convention. If you contribute
through Amazon, forward a copy of your receipt to him and he will add
the smiley face.

The reason I delayed in mentioning this is that Doug said they were
having trouble with the e-mail alias forwarding properly
after the move to the new server. I'll allow Doug to comment on which
e-mail he'd like used at this time.
