incentive

[Gene DA]

That certainly piques my interest! And a little incentive does wonders.
Since I've committed myself in writing already, I have no problem with
making a pledge of some kind.

And I suppose as long as some element (2 or more?) of the group that starts
does go to the end continuing to post, that counts, and the secret
knowledge gets dropped?

Currently waiting to receive my copy in the mail.
