I haven't clicked on the thread, and I promise I won't. Does anybody know how I can collect my 5 dollars?

    There's additional, detailed information on his "not clicking" thread. I think you need to go there, it's rather ingenious!!

    I was driven to that thread by other websites. Honestly, I never clicked. As of now, I think Erco owes me about $3000.

    No no, you only get $5 for not clicking once. The second time you don't click gets you nothing and so on.
    Presumably Erco does not want to pay up in advance of you not clicking, after all you might click in the future.
    So to be sure he has to wait until we all die and he can be sure we did not click.

    So now erco owes me $5 and one million Fahnestock clips.

    But if I'm dead, how can I be sure Erco will pay me?
    And if I'm dead, then he's not paying me, he's paying off all the debts I'll owe.

    So perhaps we should apply a probabilistic approach? It seems that somehow Schrodinger's equation might be applicable here.

    Easy guys, I'm good for the money, people owe me millions. As soon as Publisher's Clearinghouse pays up and the east African minister of finance transfers tall that money into my account, I'll share the wealth. I may already be a winner!

    Oh good. It's reassuring to know this venture is well financed. I will continue tenaciously not clicking then.

    I can feel my resolve slipping. I just know that's where all the fun is right now on the forum.

    Maybe I can hold out a few more hours. Do we get partial payments for delayed clicks?

    You almost got me with that one! Fortunately, I saw at the bottom of the browser where your link was taking me, and stopped my finger as it was heading for the mouse button. Keeping my options open (never know when I might need that $5)!

    LOL... I couldn't mask it any better knowing not many will click without knowing the intended URL.

    I also couldn't mask that Erco's posts have saved me a bundle in hardware either so I have to help him save money too. Go Erco!
