I appriciate the gesture Dann, but I don't think this should be done.  If you'd
like to collect $20 from everyone and donate the money to the American Kidney
Foundation, that would mean more to me than receiving the money, and I'll chip
in $20 too if you do that, but nobody here should have to cover for what another
member of CCC has done to me.
