Hi all The offer is genuine I can assure you. Like David said, the amount of money isn't huge and it would damage my reputation far too much if I didn't pay it out once someone had done the work. Many of my friends, colleagues and business contacts read my blog and they would probably lynch me if I didn't make good my offer. Many of them literally know where I live ;)
