Quick update. Thanks for being so understanding about the late night embarassment where I pinged JR to a paulbot he had already zotted four weeks ago. :-)
We have roughly 36 hours remaining before our end-of-the-month $$ tally and January donation to the FReepathon for the PaulBot Zot pledge. As you know, we only need one more PaulBot Zot to bring our total over $100.
Marcella made a valiant lage-night effort to get us over the hill here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2839738/posts?page=209#209. Thanks, Marcella, for being a tireless hunter for the cause.
Little Jeremiah has also pinged to some threads that looked so promising, but sadly we didn't get our zot, and not for lack of trying. Thanks, LJ.
Keep your eyes open for the next 36 hours, gang. Will the illusive Paulbot surface from his hidey hole and poke his head up just long enough for us to get it zotted? Stay tuned.
Here is the final January post and tally for the Great FReepathon PaulBot Zot Pledge.
Special thanks to Marcella for bringing it home in style, hunting up a rare twofer, and sending our total over the $100 goal.

That’s 14 Paulbot Zots at $1/each = $14 per each of us, for a combined total of $112 between the eight of us for the month of January. Go, us!
Could you guys weigh in on how you’d like to acknowledge your pledge on the FReepathon thread? Here are three options:
1. We could post one collective acknowledgement of the $112 donation, with individual credit given to each donor in the acknowledgement
2. Each of us could post our individual $14 donation on the FReepathon thread, acknowledging that we’re a part of the PaulBot Zot pledge
3. We could combine the above two options. One post tonight for the collective $112 donation, then each individual could post his $14 donation on the Freepathon thread at the time he process his contribution
Your thoughts and preferences are invited.
The quarterly FReepathon is still ongoing, with the meter currently sitting at 42%. There’s always the choice that we could re-set our reader board to zero and start our PaulBot Zot pledge over again for the month of February. I’m up for that, with the understanding that everyone’s financial situation and enthusiasm level is different. If you would like in or out for continuing the PaulBot Zot pledge for the month of February, beginning anew at zero dollars, please let me know (either here or by FReepmail) and we’ll go from there.
Finally, in honor of our grand achievement, I fixed up a graphic to commemorate the occasion. I hope you don’t mind!
