To All Silicon Investor Members Like most of you, I've cried a day's worth of tears ... My son and I prayed for the souls of those who have perished ... I've donated blood ... I still think of the hundreds of children who will never see their mothers or fathers again and my heart bleeds. So, I've done one other thing .... I have established a fund for SI members to direct a contribution to, if they feel inclined. I have left instructions with the bank to close the account on 10/15/01 and by then, I'll have provided them with the wiring instructions for whatever fund NY sets up for the children of those firefighters and police who have sacrificed their lives. The bank will directly wire all account proceeds at that time. I've applied for a tax deductible tax ID which I will gladly mail to anyone who PMs me for tax purposes once it is received. Commerce Bank was kind enough to match my opening contribution this morning and I thank them with all my heart. Perhaps we could all make one trade and designate it for the surviving children .... Or maybe we could only send a dollar ... Or maybe you think this is a really dumb idea .... Matters not to me. I just needed to DO something as much for me as for the children I saw as I tried to sleep last night. Account Number: 36-054994-3 Wiring Instructions: Wire To: Commerce Bank/Pennsylvania/N.A. Philadelphia, Pa. U.S.A.

Maybe some will post a link to this post on threads I don't post to .... that would be appreciated. Thanks ... JB
