You can count me out, as I would not contribute ten cents. >C'mon, whether you love Fischer or hate him, WE all would love to see his moves >once again. His views on certain issues, and his possible erratic emotional >state, are beside the point. His moves are what is important I think. He's a deranged lunatic.
