If you have already made a donation, I will, if you want me do, refund half
your donation up the amount of the donation, if you are the high bidder on
this package.

The reason I am saying this is that a few folks have made pretty decent
size donation and may hesitate to bid on this, or were planning on writing
big checks and can't afford to do both.  So if you bid, but aren't sure you
are going to win, and are delaying your contribution, don't sweat it.

(I will only refund half because I am only collecting DTN funds, not the
other also worthy MBBF funds.)

And just for The Record, Byron is being modest here.  Last year $300 was
donated to the DTN fund from apparel sales.  Contributions are normally
kept secret, but this one was special since it represents funds from all of
you plus tons of sweat equity from Huck and Chuck.  Besides, the T-Shirt is
very cool indeed, inverse negativity indeed!
