I'm not saying that your independantly wealthy, but if you are $500 is probably $50 to some of us. However, under the impression that your not independantly weathly, I would have to agree with LDHS. This isn't going to be something that will ultimately end our lives, we could definately get cramping, and possibly some hurling of our orfaces, but not much more than that. I'm not opposed to a cash prize, nor am I opposed to that size of an amount, but even still this challenge just isn't worth $500. JMO
With all that said, I do appreciate the gesture. Thanks Patrick!
