Since HP World, passions for placing the ad have clearly cooled off. While I
was waiting for someone else to make the suggestion, I am now firmly in favor
of returning all of the money that was collected -- with a sense of deep
appreciation and thanks.

If the group believes otherwise, I'm willing to change my mind again (this is
actually the second time that I've suggested returning the money to the
original contributors). Otherwise, I would recommend that the money be begun
to be returned sometime later this week or early next.
