I'm not willing to donate the machine; I like it and want to continue
using it if I happen to go elsewhere. However, I don't particularly
mind using it at Noisebridge, and it might as well get used by y'all
instead of sitting in my closet between uses. I can understand the
reasons you mentioned, but this is what I'm offering.

Re. the damage issue: it'd be possible to set up a fund to pay for
minor damages to loaned equipment, consider the use of it effectively
something like a pretty low rental fee, and not accept loans that have
plausible damages more than some reasonable limit. Or people could
simply be excellent and fix / replace things they break. *shrug*

I'll abstain from any other discussion of whether the rule ought to be
changed; just suggesting one possible mitigation.
