I like it, but why limit it to $1? either way it goes to charity, so let the bidding begin! Before we start though, pick a local charity to benefit. It would be cool if you both chose the same one.<br><br><b><i>Donovan Arnold <donovanjarnold2005@yahoo.com></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> <div>Tom Hansen,</div> <div> </div> <div>I will except your challenge but with one change. </div> <div> </div> <div>Instead of us donating $200, how about instead a one month self enforced ban from posting to Vision 2020.</div> <div> </div> <div>That's right! Whomever intentionally and blatantly insults another vision 2020 poster first, including ourselves, loses, and must refrain from posting to Vision 2020 for a period of one month. </div> <div> </div> <div>Any money raised, by others betting on us will go the victor's chosen charity. </div>
<div> </div> <div>Bets should be for no more than $1 dollar, and no less than 25 cents per day per bidder. No bidder will bid more than $30 total per individual, or $60 per household. </div> <div> </div> <div>I nominate Tom Ivie to record the bidding amounts for the charity to be collected. And his amounts to be confirmed by Gary Crabtree. </div> <div> </div> <div>Either way this goes down, I think Vision2020 wins. </div> <div> </div> <div>However, to make this worth while, at least ten people from V2020 must contact Tim Ivie with a bid--which I don't think should be too hard. </div> <div> </div> <div>Best,</div> <div> </div> <div>Donovan<br><br><b><i>Tom Hansen <thansen@moscow.com></i></b> wrote:</div> <blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); padding-left: 5px; margin-left: 5px;"> <meta content="Microsoft Word 11 (filtered medium)" name="Generator"><o:SmartTagType name="State"
