Hrm... unless Brad made the donation from his personal funds, this last
sentence is probably not accurate. Since everyone is picking nits here, I
suggest the following rewrite to avoid Scott from jumping on it.
"However, I _would_ say that an employee of LEGO with apparent authority to do
so caused a disbursement of LEGO corporate funds to happen which constituted a
financial donation to LUGNET."
There are several other employees of LEGO who are Lugnet members (I shan't say
who they are, that's their business) and who therefore have made payments to
LUGNET out of their own funds.
In that light do you agree with the clarifying rewrite, or was it actually
Brad's own check?
