Hi Chrissy, I think that you already let everyone know the fact now, it make sense for you to sign that an affidavit to get $5,000. I compeletely agree with you based on the fact you gave in your previous email.
By the way, how will that effect if the company fire the person who report to Microsoft to get $5,000? Is it legal to fire the person?

I did that last night - about an hour after I posted to this list actually. The $5,000 is only if you are prepared to sign an affidavit which means you are not anonymous.
