Harry,

Please forward my US$100 to John Herring. He is acting as my proxy.

Thank you in advance,
Alex

I'll be delighted to send the proceeds to you at your name and at your
street address in Florida. You can forward the needed info to me at:

I don't deal with racists like Herring or with proxies. That wasn't
part of the wager when it was made, and I don't accept those as
modified terms.

I don't plan on being "here" much, so please communicate to the
above-referenced email at your earliest convenience.

Thanks.
Let's run this down...

1) You certainly won't be delighted to pay - everyone knows that.
2) The wager was simple and clear.
3) No "modification" of terms is requested - there were no terms.
4) It's really none of your business, but I owe John $100 for a
charitable arrangement we made and the timing of your loss is perfect to
help facilitate that. You aren't against charity are you?

Why am I not surprised that you would try to slither out of a
gentleman's bet?

Jesus, I will send you the stamp. Just take the check when it is
offered and endorse it over to John is that is what you want to do
with the money.

That's not the point. If I lost the bet the check would have been in
the mail yesterday.

I would stick to your guns and not forward your mailing address to
Harry. He seems to like building a database of where people live.
He's been trying to figure Justan's address out for years, to no avail.
