I am leaving for Kansas on the 18th of December. We have to be finished by the 17th.

If the dalereed axiom of $1,000 per thread holds up, and I guess it will, we will have to blow through at least 4 threads a day the whole way through to the 17th! The big guns had better hit thier mark, oh and I like the hit and run idea.

Another suggestion that I have is from a post that Grampa Dave made about what Glock Rocks calls Free Republic - The Free Republic Life Form.

With the new forum software, the number of threads may take on a new meaning. Jim's thread is still running at 2300+ replies with no sign of an end.

I propose that each thread stay alive until it drops out of Breaking News and then a new one be started. We will have to adjust dalereed's math once results are in.

With John's new format we only have to have one thread!

If we can generate the responses (over 2,000 in half a day) that the thread generated yesterday for an average of $20 the fundraiser will be over before Monday especially if the donations from that thread are counted into the total.
