Hello folks! As some of you may know, DRT and myself are very close friends. I have been guilty of lurking here but I want to let everyone know what is going on.
It seems this thread was part of an experiment between some old friends up here in the Chesapeake area. More like a wager if you will. Let's just say that DRT did not win. He was sure that human nature was more receptive than most think. I can assure you he is a very caring soul and a right fair trader in these parts.
I can not say much more, but I have a feeling you may have the opportunity to read about this in the near future and it will become perfectly clear what transpired here.
DRT sends his best and thanks all those who sent such kind emails and such. I have a feeling he will answer them one day soon.
