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?



As soon as you email me your actual name and actual street address, I
will send you the payment. If you want to send $100 to Herring, that is
your business, and not my concern. I am not "slithering" out of
anything. I am not going to change my mind, nor am I interested in the
comments of your buddies here on this matter.

My email:




Another entry for your database of names and addresses? I would advise
Alex to not do so. It's up to you as to whether you will honor your
obligations or not. Seems like you won't without imposing new conditions.



Also dont try to test his moose and tree rat email. It could
reveal your email address to him if it's real.



He used to have mine until we moved and I had to change it. He
occasionally emailed and was always civil, unlike his persona presented
here in the newsgroup. I think it's a good idea to change your primary
email address occasionally anyway. Gets rid of a lot of junk emails.


I have had my AOL address for over 20 years. The spam is bad but not
unmanageable. Most can actually be traced to things I bought online
and things I signed up for. AOL is pretty good about filtering the
most abusive spam.
