ny governor asked ebay to do something so people from all over can give to good cause -meg and ebay programmers rose to the challenge,unfortunately most ebay dealers are not that well heeled to donate time,merchandise and shipping,not enough sellers willing to do so.
i for one cannot afford to

Not one mention of small sellers who donated items and shipping. Sickening.

Well said.
We don't need praise or recognition from the elite to know in our hearts that we have donated our time and money to the very worthy cause.

Ah, Yes..... Millions of dollars from many good people going into corporate bank accounts. When will this money be used to help the people it was intended to help?

I believe in one of the latest statements they made, they've now referred to it as:
$100 million OR 100 days.

Not that I am old enough to remember this...but wasn't there a famous cowboy star years ago that sang "Happy Trails" as he rode off into the sunset??? Seems that is the way AFA has gone!
Maybe Meg is out on the plains looking for him to donate a signed album or guitar!

Oh what a difference a change in preposition makes.

Actually, they replaced a preposition (in) with a conjuction (or).
Little words can make big differences.

Depends on what the meaning of 'in' is.

It is going to have to be "100 Million or 100 Days".
A4A listing are down to 14,963. there is no way Meg will make her $100 Million dollar goal at this rate. Listings have been declining ever since day one which started out at somewhere a little over 35,000.

So....does this mean that they will continue beyond the 100 days until they reach the $100 million dollar goal?

It will go 100 days or until $100M is reached, whichever comes first.

Do you think they'll even reach 100 million cents?

Why should I expect that. After all, they've proven time & time again, they have no "sense" at all.
