...fat lot of good it will do you personally.
ok - no web bugs, no referer logs, no trackbacks, but still some curiosity... so here's the deal: if you are the first person to send me an email with subject line "I win", containing one or more criticisms of this blog (preferably valid ones), I will contribute $50 to the nonprofit organization of your choice.
Restrictions:
1. I get veto power; e.g. don't bother suggesting the NRA or irs.gov or you'll have to choose again
2. The org can't be too obscure
2. Family, coworkers, friends and Yubanet staff need not apply. And if you belong to one of these groups, please do not attempt to sway the results.
3. Contest is only open for as long as this post stays up (or until we have a winner)
Thank you for playing.
(ed. note: as of 10pm PST, still no winner...)

New policy re climate contrarianism comments as of 11/11/2009:
Comments questioning the climate science community's understanding of climate change (97% of active climatologists now believe that the earth is currently warming and that it's human-caused - link) will be deleted unless the commenter:
a) is local
b) uses his real name
c) provides link(s) to substantiate his claim(s)/inference(s)
d) is willing to collaborate on constructing an argument tree, to get us past the usual sterile point-counterpoint-countercounterpoint.
(For people who can't read the above, a summary:
1) Be civil;
2) Don't post w/o giving at least a pseudonym;
3) Don't espouse climate-denial crankery unless you're local and willing to stand behind it.)
Caveats:
1. Comments could be delayed: they are being moderated, and I'm sometimes away from the computer for a day or more.
2. : Perfectly legitimate comments are sometimes miscategorized (by the blogging platform) as spam, & not published. If this happens to yours, please notify me, else I might not notice for a day or two.
