Well, here's a copy from memory of my post from hours ago that has now disappeared: Um, no need, it's in my comments but not in this message list any more, not necessary to use what's left of my feeble memory, I'll just copy & paste it back in :) Without the leading dollar sign for one of my run-on sentences, replaced by USD instead, just like you would do on a teletype machine. Quoting myself here: >It is easy for some of us to remember what it was like back in the '60's when SF rose to become the US center of non-capitalism at the time. >The Grateful Dead were local musicians who gained more widespread popularity whether every one of them wanted it or not, especially once they got a record deal with a capitalist outfit that could advertise and promote in ways that the musicians could not or would not do on their own. >As the purported "leader" of the band, Jerry Garcia for one indicated that he was soon earning more income than he really needed, and having a strong balance toward benevolence over greed, set out to give 1000USD each to numerous individuals who without a doubt were truly in need of the funds. >1000USD really would go a lot further then compared to a short 10 years later once the devastating devaluation of the US dollar was set into motion after it was unlinked to a universally appreciated natural resource (gold). >Anyway, turns out that before too long it was determined that it was costing 1200usd to give away each 1000USD, and the program ended up grinding to a halt.
