Evan,

Don't worry about it.  A long time ago Kellie Hartmann had been somewhere
that they were displaying all these new tech toys,, and she asked if anyone
would like to contribute a few thousand.  All of us knew she was kidding.
It is probably because you are pretty new that a couple of people seemed to
take you seriously.  I, for one, knew you were kidding, not begging.
