>And, you undoubtedly did the right thing by contributing to NPR during their last pledge break, right?< (grin) But of course, madam; and I also contributed the right amount. >Because this news has enriched your life etc., in fact may I suggest setting up a "Johannes Pilch Challenge grant"! That is where, when someone makes a pledge in a designated time period.... you match the amount! All tax deductible, of course.< A fabulous idea, although the tax deduction will necessarily be (how should we say it?) insignificant. >Of course if the mkts havent been too good to you theres always the option of working the phones….< Another fabulous idea! Dear me, madam! Surely Hell is frozen today, as you have submitted two reasoned ideas in one post (and you put a nice frost on the Hot Place yesterday with your suggestion regarding Social Security). Though no one could help being massively successful in this market (and I hardly can understand what this can possibly have to do with my contributing to NPR), your idea of working NPR's phones during its fund raising drive has the potential of doing far more good than the total sum of every one of my usual contributions to that organization.
