If they'd had more time, I'm sure they could have added a "Ziggurat Con Donation" item for $1 to the catalog, which you'd purchase as many of as you want to donate. So if you wanted to donate 20 bucks to the cause, you'd just buy twenty of the donation item, and if you wanted to donate rabbit points, you'd just purchase the donation item and apply your points to it. But, since this is kind of last minute, they didn't have time to set up a more elegant solution like that. We should all just bear with them and do what we can to help. And we can remind them that we think they are doing a good thing and we appreciate it. My dog bit me when I helped him get porcupine quills out of his face, but I didn't let it get me down. I still knew I was helping, even if he didn't agree. :) -----Original Message----- From: rabbits-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:rabbits-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Rev.

Dumb question time: can't you just define a promo code to do this? I understand the desire not to have a general-purpose 20% promo out there, but a lot of the shopping systems have a way to tie promotions to certain qualifications...and if you were to tie this one to orders which (a) include a certain "dummy item" at zero price that flags it as a ZC order or (b) are being shipped to the ZC address ZIP code, that ought to make things relatively painless. _______________________________________________ Rabbits mailing list Rabbits@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.looneylabs.com/mailman/listinfo/rabbits
