@gjeric a valid point at surface value, but... you should feel cheated if this was an order. But this was a competition - and you didn't win it, martijnp "did".
I perfectly understand the dilemma that has been created here; either move by Flip will create bad feeling with someone. That's why I see donating to QF as the neutral solution that should not embitter anyone and will benefit Quark as a whole. It's quite simple really.
@Ashmasser if those are your comments about the QF, then I'd say you know nothing about what QF is, under which conditions it was set up and for what purpose. (hint: it was not for curing cancer or organizing community cleanups)
