Given what I read in the article, I have a feeling that the number 210 has a particular significance for her that would frankly escape pretty much all of us. (And I say this as a Ph.D. holder in a mathematical field.)

So please enlighten me about this.

$200 is the reportable quantity boundary. She wanted to make sure the donation was posted.

The reason for a figure like $210 is probably something quite mundane, such as the price of the faculty lunch she attended (because it was expected of her), plus the additional contribution she tossed in (hopefully for the same reason).

Still, it's distressing that she gave anything at all. One of our goals in having all those evolution threads is to make it respectable for intellectuals to be conservatives. Then, Lisa can come out of the closet and announce that she's one of us, and has been freeping all along. (I have other fantasies ...)
