Gee, thanks for that Jason, it's so greatly appreciated -- I'm really
glad you feel that way.

I've worked many Stone fundraisers since the first one in 2001 and I'm a
pretty generous guy. I have met, and like, your brother and his lovely
wife and am friends with a lot of the folks on BA.

I've never met you, but when and if I do I have a feeling I'm not going
to like you.

Tell ya what, Jason -- I'll make it a charity auction -- when the
auction is over you put up any amount of money up to the full selling
price of the bottle -- as soon as Chris or Greg confirms that you've
made the contribution, I'll match it!

"Up to" includes the number 0. Please amend.

I don't think I'll amend it -- it's put up or shut up time for him.
Bottom line is that there are probably thousands of collectible items
sold on ebay that were originally manufactured and sold to raise money
for charity, research, etc. It's a truly absurd notion to expect that
the resale of these items, when they've become collectible, requires the
seller to donate "all of the money ... to the correct charity." I think
he's ****ed at me for putting the bottle up on ebay but he's either
hiding the real reason or he doesn't really know why he got ****ed and
is reacting with the first thing that popped into his head. Or maybe
he's just trolling.

But, the dude threw down a gauntlet and I'm a very generous guy who has
given freely to Stone's causes before so I'm picking it up -- I'll match
him dollar for dollar up to the full selling price of the bottle. Let's
see if he's willing to put his money where his mouth is.

Whoring your wares in newsgroups is trolling IMO ... I was just trying to
call this out and it seemed to work. I raised a substantial amount from
Sawyer's Tripel at one of our fests and then BA matched it again. Not ****ed
.... just happy I have a delete button on BA.

Cheers and good luck with the charity auction!!

ALD. How much have you given? I'd guess your contribution is
right up there with mine at $0. Which makes me wonder why you
could possibly care.

> if not this guy should burn in hell.

An eternity of agony for re-selling a fund-raiser item...Yeah,
that's appropriate. But it is OK to drink it? I mean, you
know, you're going to **** it out. Sounds the height of
disrespect to me.
