A few people care, and why not get those people's donations as well?  Screen 
real estate is cheap, except on the home page.  And it makes people feel good 
about donating, even when it doesn't increase giving.  

All I'm talking about is having a list of donors within a few broad 
categories.

Donor listings are a proven way to improve donor relations throughout 
non-profits worldwide.
