SOME YEARS AGO I MADE THE SAME SUGGESTION (without any reaction from the net *AT ALL* - maybe it feel straight into the big-bucket? or got censored by my systems administrator, who hates networks?? :-) ...anyway, what was I about to say... oh, yes, prices ... well, when you all decide to elect me in the "least-useful" category, I'd be happy if you all would send me a postcard each, that would be a nice office decoration, everyone saying "THANKS FOR SHUTTING UP" ... anyway, I think that would be a nice personal way of honoring people like Gene Spafford, Mark Horton, Chuq, whats-his-name at seismo (-: .....etc... how about Xmas-cards, or birthday cards, or .... the hole net could send HAPPY BIRTHDAY Email to Rick (that's his name) and bring his computer crashing down ...
