I had to give too since Suz did, but I think that you should count the poker night buy-in, beer, cigs, etc. until I have given more than her and then you can stop. Ha! Oh the sibling peer pressure!!

As the little kids say in "Triumph of the Will" (hey, just noticed the pun!), "I'M DOING MY PART!" * Actually, Will's promise was 3 posts *per* day, but not 3 posts *each* day. So I suppose Will could make 90 posts on November 30 and satisfy his commitment.

If he doesn't get it, his roommates will need to cover for him. And beautiful people should never have to pay for things. I’d just like to emphasize the importance of providing rent money for Will.

That way, I would not have to fear making a contribution for nothing.
