Yes Norman pays to run this site that is why it is annoying when people complain about how it is run etc, it is Norman’s prerogative to decide what happens, the site does not belong to us, we contribute to the various threads but have no control over how the site is run.

When Vicky was running her site she asked contributors to make a contribution every year, I never had a problem with that, if the time ever came when Norman requested contributions I would contribute but he never has asked hence the site belongs to him, he allows us to use it fir which I thank him.
