I like Miniver Sussex Fox also... And I could probably get my parents to let me contribute some... (And yes I relise I haven't posted since April... But I do come on here just about every day.)
I like Miniver Sussex Fox, as well. As said before, I don't think "sixsixseven forum" would be good, as "667" is taken from another book already, so it'd be rather redundant.
I'll probably contribute... though it depends a lot on how much money is left in my bank account after buying school books (hence why I'm not posting in the pledge thread yet).

Gigi doesn't HAVE to do this, you know, and in fact did not ask to be in charge. Others asked her -- people who saw the need for a responsible, reliable, and honest person to do the work of getting the word out, taking pledges, voting on an "utterance," following the bidding, paying EBay, negotiating with Handler on our behalf, and all the other little things, including appeasing people like you who don't seem to understand the complexity of what we're trying to accomplish.
I don't want to sound harsh (or maybe I do), but Kobolos and Brain Damage could not have put much thought into what a difficult job it is to coordinate the efforts of such a variety and number of people from all over the world. In my opinion, your criticisms are completely out of line. I can't believe that you would even hint that Gigi has ulterior or personal motives. In fact, I wouldn't blame Gigi at all if she gave up the whole idea, but she's not that kind of person . She truly has everyone's best interests at heart. We should be grateful to her, not accusing her. You should be ashamed of yourselves!

Blahblahblah.
We already cleared the issue up. No need for unimportant people, such as yourself, to try to raise their voice above the crowd. Thank you for your concern.

How DARE you Madame! To insult such a celebrated member of this site, one with supreme intelligence, foresight, and imagination...and then to insult Mr. Who as well! I dare say I am the epitome of honesty and organization! As Treasurer of not only the Olivia Newton-John fan club as well as a former stock analyst and employee of the Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, I hereby demand an apology for the besmirching of my character!

My favorite is still "Miniver Sussex Fox", or "minniversussexfox" as Sunny would more likely say that. If Handler scrambled that, it'd still be an anagram for "six six seven forum".
