<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="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"> <META content="Microsoft Word 11 (filtered medium)" name=Generator><?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:SmartTagType name="State" namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags"></o:SmartTagType><o:SmartTagType name="City" namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags"></o:SmartTagType><o:SmartTagType name="place" namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags"></o:SmartTagType> <STYLE> st1\:*{behavior:url(#default#ieooui) }
