Fine I'll bite. Nothing was donated, it all just slipped through the hoarding cracks. The "anon" dumps were hoarded away from MAME for months/years and then finally leaked to a couple of people not involved with MAME, probably with a request not to share them with MAME folks but they made their way anyway. If they would have been shared then they would have been credited. As it stands we don't even know exactly who dumped them all, but from this thread it looks like Andy Geezer did some. So next time you should say screw the hoarders because if they had it their way, the dumps wouldn't be in MAME or else they would have submitted them.
