7. No, not really...

There were a few threads floating around last night with guesstimates. In one thread, a person said he or she knew someone at the campaign and that they said they had a very good fund-raising day but didn't set any records. I was never really concerned about setting a record though, so I'm just glad they got a badly needed influx of cash and, hopefully, saw that there are a lot of people who are committed to this campaign.

9. Here's a message from David Bonior

Catchawave posted this in the Edwards forum and I thought I'd share it here.

Thank you! On behalf of John and Elizabeth Edwards and our entire campaign, I want to thank everyone who made a contribution on Friday, January 18th. In particular, I want to thank all those from the netroots community for rallying to our side at a time when we need it most. Thanks to you, we received several thousand contributions on Friday - and more than half of those contributions were from folks who had never before made a donation to our campaign.

As a result of your support, Friday was one of the best online fundraising days ever for our campaign. And, importantly, the great majority of those contributions will be eligible for matching funds, doubling the impact of your extraordinary effort.

We appreciate every contribution and every contributor to our campaign. We know many of those who have given to this campaign do so because they see that John is fighting for them - for their families and for the American dream we hold close to our hearts. Thank you for continuing to stand with John, and for helping to get out his message of bold, transformational change.

David Bonior
National campaign manager for the John Edwards for President campaign.

11. Thank you, Blackhatjack.

And thanks for your photography tips. I'm sorry if I missed some posts and didn't respond to them all. I got a little overwhelmed and exhausted around midnight last night and I couldn't respond to everything. I thought about going back through it today and answering some questions from others that I had missed but I really didn't want to bump it. Hope no one thinks I was ignoring them. If anyone asked me something and I didn't answer, feel free to PM me.

12. A very cool thing to do, pamela.
