I think the plan was to "EMAIL" not POST.  I would hate to start seeing 
100 or so posts on this net just to send in $10 each!  It would cost the net
probably 10 times this for each post!
Just E-mail if you can, Please.
I don't want to wade through all of this and I would like to save bandwidth
and net money.
PS. I, too, am sending my $10! (just thought I would get that in)
