Hey Alex, How's it going? I checked out a debate on the complete liquidation of petty cash to air/virtual money on idebate it's all Great British Pounds Vs. BitCoins, fun I'll look into it after my last paper (May, eighteenth). Exams soon, wish me luck RRT. :) Question, have I won all the DOTMs you haven't announced? Will I/we be informed of this/who-won in June (post-last/May-DOTM)?
