Darn.  I'm anonymous so I can't collect my valuable prize.  Just donate the
proceeds to the Ferret Defense Fund.

I've been with Chris almost from the beginning.  I even had a printout of
issue 1 until my last ferret confused it for a litter box (I'm trying not to
think of it as a symbolic act).  I just wanted to say that Chris has done a
great job over the years doing a thankless task that can be a logistics
nightmare.  I'm surprised that he's done it for so long.  Must of absorbed
too much Linotone through the fingers.
