I was kidding. Do you really think I propose to commit extortion? Come, come, what do you take me for, sirrah?
Now then, having said that, <ahem> naturally, I'll be happy to accept my share if this turns into a group effort, between friends that is, if Bill Beaty will be so kind, and also if he will take legal responsibility. Perhaps I would accept a little extra for making the suggestion in the first place . . .
