I understand that Sol essentially made a public bet, but it was an offer, and you were free to make a counter offer on your own terms. This is basic contracts law that any 1st year law student knows, but I think it is also common sense.
I respectfully nominate EB to arbitrate this matter at a lovely bar in Montreal -- he'll be the referee and the two parties in question can thumb wrestle and whoever EB declares as the winner, get an hour to spend quality time with Anastasia of Euphoria at the "loser" expense, the "winner" pays for the drinks and cocktail food, and both parties share equally donations for EB to spend two hours of quality time with Anastasia of Euphoria or another lady of his desire. :lol::nod: Life will be grand again for the two parties involved and everyone in Merb village will have the greatest 2016. eace::cheer2::angel: (I consulted Judge Judy and she said this is how she would rule.) :whoo: If I were not so shackled to my life, I'd volunteer to meet you guys in Montreal and participate in such a Summit like the Beer Summit that President Obama did several years ago between a police officer and a renowned Harvard professor -- I know this instant matter has no racial overtone whatsoever but it's deserving of two Hobbyists meeting in person in Montreal and resolve any issues over the cold Montreal winter.
