I admit that I am the lucker winner of the auction. I would however like to point out that it will actually cost me more than what Chuck wrote because the Euro is presently valued just above par against the dollar. Not that a few dollars will come close to making it any less of a deal. As one of you wrote in an off-list note, the cycling gods must be looking down upon me in favor.
Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for a happy, socially-responsible, gender neutral, environmentally- friendly celebration of the winter solstice holiday (if you happen to live in the Northern Hemisphere), or of the summer solstice holiday (if you happen to live in the Southern Hemisphere), practiced within the religious or secular traditions of your choice, or non-religious practice of your choice. Due respect is hereby given to calendars of other cultures that do not celebrate this same solstice. Similarly, respect is given to the recipients of this greeting regardless of their creed, race, colour, age, sex, physical ability, religious faith, sexual preference, choice of computer platform, and human or non-human companion of choice. By accepting this greeting, you are accepting these terms. This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It implies no promise by the wisher, nor his or her retainer(s), to actually implement the wishes referred to. Any wish is void if prohibited by law. Any wish is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher. Warranty of the wishes is restricted to the legal minimum regarding wishes. Warranty is restricted solely to the replacement of this wish should it be found in any way wanting. No responsibility can be accepted for other damage caused by a faulty wish. Issuance of a new wish shall remain at the discretion of the wisher unless compelled by law. Regards,
Steven Maasland Moorestown, NJ
