I posted privately to one of our clan about an idea: each of us taking some of our found wealth, and in the name of the thread, the Q, Volt, Ramsey, Maurice, whoever: jointly contributing to some cause and spreading some bounty to those who lord knows are needier than we are. Can't yet figure out the mechanics and don't know if SI will can, but if there is a reliable conduit to get some small piece of this to native Americans, to Central Americans harmed by Hurricane Mitch, Appalachian poor--whoooever.
Just a thought on the eve of the Milennium
