Alley, re MDA. You should be happy to know... Last year I was "volunteered" by an anonymous customer or someone to "go to jail" for MDA. I want you to know that this board was very, very supportive. I made several posts here asking for my "bail" and only a few posters got a little tired of my repeated pleas. In the end, I was able to raise over $2600 I believe... maybe it was $2800. Anyway, over half of it came from members of this board. I got money pledged from all ends of the sprectrum... traders, longs, etc. etc. I was the second largest fundraiser in the Lufkin Texas fundraiser, second only to Temple Inland... a very large company.

I felt somewhat uncomfortable doing it again this year, not only on this board but with my fellow employees and customers, so I have passed the baton over to another fellow employee this year... and I think he is struggling to get even close to what this board's support allowed us to contribute last year. I can share his website as well for an easy contribution to MDA if you or jimlur would like... but thanks for bringing this to the board.
