My apologies ... It looks like the challenge actually never left my mail box ... but I am reproducing it here anyway. You get 24 hours from the time this email is released by GoaNet in the distribution list to trace my IP and publish it on GoaNet.
Please see my intended email reproduced below. Jim F ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mervyn, I am afraid I'd have to say, I am dealing with a 'Jack-Of-All-Trades-Master-Of-None' here. If what you say is that easy, I challenge you to find my IP on this email and publish it on GoaNet by 12 noon Monday Aug 30th. In return, I shall send in a $100 donation to GoaNet in your name. If you can't, I would like you to send in just a $10 donation to GoaNet in my name. Go on .. smarto ... Are you upto my challenge?
