I mean lets say I feel sorry for the poor kid and send along in my card a couple of dollars for whatever, multiply by netwide response (and by newspaper circulation,direct mailing, etc...) and this could add up! Not everyone will send money but if you get enough people sending in cards many will....If this *IS* a prank its absolutly EVIL, because there ARE kids out there who need this kind of compassion and whenever a huckster comes along like this it just makes people cynical when a REAL need comes along....I know, this isn't about the // so I'll shut up now.... - Joe Nowakowski - NOWAKO09@SNYBUFVA - Mene Mene Tekel Pharsin......
