First Update
This is the update e-mail I sent a few hours after the original one.

Friends:
So, I sent you all an e-mail asking to shame a petty Saab driver by donating to the Red Cross. I sent this e-mail at around 11:30 AM. It is now 2:30, and I have pledges in the amount of:
$11,502.
Eleven thousand dollars in three hours.
This is the greatest thing ever.
More than fifty people have pledged money, with amounts from ten dollars to a thousand dollars.
I just wanted to give you an update.
If there are other people who hate pettiness and/or lawyers and/or pathetic insurance claims, please do forward the original e-mail to them, and have them e-mail me with a donation amount. Please make it clear that there is no middle man here -- all they have to do is let me know the amount they will *eventually* donate, in Saab Guy's name, and then later I will contact them and give the go-ahead to give to the Red Cross.
Thank you all so much, and keep the shame dollars rolling in!
Love,
Mike
