Forgot one thing. At the end of the season I will send a 50 or 100 dollar
USPS money order to Victory Junction Gang Camp and mention Usenet and rasn
and the screen name of the season long winner. So there is some sort of
prize but it does not go to you. It goes to where it can be put to the best
use. That Petty family and their supporters are what America used to be
before the politicians and corporations and special interest groups and
media consultants took over.
