There are a couple group members that are wealthy enough that 2k would not
even begin to tempt them. That would seem to be the 1st choice.


So far I like Clams ideas. Although the honor system should work, I would
suspect out of ten people there would be a few that would have some reason
to ignore a bet made years earlier. I've loaned a lot of people money and
I've heard it all. About half of the borrowers have good intentions, but job
loss, divorce, health issues or amnesia is common. I am absolutely going to
pay if I lose. Lets give this a little thought and see if any others are
going to jump in. The people I hoped would take me up haven't responded, but
I guess it would grieve me more to have to pay them anyway.
