Err...

These are not the clearest instructions in the world. Then again, the iPhone doesn't have instructions - it's intended to be so intuitive to use you don't need them in the box. Perhaps it's just me. Anyway, given the relatively small pool of contributors, and given my OCD problem on [this page in particular], I thought I'd put up my hand and nominate myself, just to show how the process works, more than anything else. My contributions extend to writing a significant part of the Austrian School and ABCT pages in the past - I wrote about half the Wikipedia page and then continued working on it here after Misessus and I were banned from the self-appointed Wikipedia economics "establishment". Check out [my contributions over many months]. I've got most of the books I want from Mises.org, so I'm nominating myself so I can use the $50 gift card to buy one of the last Mises silver coins before silver skyrockets to $100 per ounce. By the way, what happened to the Mises silver coin? Was there a 'run'? Was Mises.org engaging in fractional reserve selling? Did Mises.org confiscate all the coins and declare private holdings illegal? Are they, like the Bernanke Fed, tracking who owns the last remaining coins right now? My mind whirls...
