This is what's being discussed among non-ATIS engine men.  How about a  
little peer pressure to help get this problem solved?  We pulled  
together to try to get Reg's money back from Bob Bromps, let's help  
Craig receive justice.

Alan Bowen, you can stick the pliers in a reinforced envelope, put the  
appropriate postage on it, and you don't even need to go to the post  
office.  I do it all the time.  The mail man will take anything you  
give him.

Spencer Yost, since the donated money hasn't been given to charity  
yet, how about sending Craig a refund?

This seems like a simple problem to resolve.  Just do it.
