: And it was a little free advertising for WheresGeorge.com.
It may have been free advertising, but it causes more problems than it helps. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE SHOULD YOU *EVER* MARK ANY BILLS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN PREVIOUSLY ENTERED INTO THE DATABASE.

: : : So, I took one bill and wrote the URL on it and wrote a message on it telling people to write down the serial number and year and to enter it into the site.
: : Oh My God (OMG)
: : My personal opinion - "Oh nooo, it's Hans, the babbler - Read no further - Run away" - No seriously.....
: : EMS - Enter, Mark, Spend.
: : The next customer who enters your bill, should have the bill in their hand, when entering the information. None of that, "Oh, I'll just enter it in later".
: : Should a future customer type in the information, Hank could get a flood of messages from other Georgers to the effect of - '"Hey how could that bill get from here to there in that little amount of time?" It's a big pain for Hank.
: : From past experiences, it is very wise to observe EMS and not promote any activities that do not support EMS.
: : Hank, correct me, if you feel that I am out of line with my view point?
: : Mary Beth, A + for creativity - though.
: : I sure hope I have not sent you on guilt trip. I hope you can sleep tonight - bad girl - lol
