Can we have a moment of silence (or several million dollars) . . . please?

I sent the last one as HTML formatted. Here it is again in plain text. . .

Now, I suppose if we gathered up several million dollars we might be able to

But, if anyone cares to petition Intel to keep Alphas around, I'm game.
