@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.
