As Erik already pointed out, what did you think I was going to spend it on?
If I was ever made such a strange offer, I would pay off the debts of
myself, my immediate family, the cost of my funeral, and devote the
overwhelming bulk of the remainder to the various charities of my choice.
I am amazed that you somehow saw this as "cheating" and a "change of my
statement." The inability to connect money with the power to do "good"
for the world is just mind-boggling to me.
