Makes sense, but it has a flaw. Uh oh....did BG say the Bible had a flaw? 
The more people involved in your cause, the more likely it is going to be successful(good people). BG wants more people to know what he's doing, so maybe he'll inspire others to do the same. If nobody knows....nobody can be "inspired". Big Gunns would love to see 100 Bp.net members in Taiji with him(he'll settle for 1). If they don't know what's going on, how could they possibly be inspired to go?
If more people knew what their neighbors are doing to help worthy causes around the world, just maybe it would get them off their butts to do something also. At the very least it might make some feel guilty enough to do something.
Big Gunns is willing to bet this much. He will bet any amount of money(5 bucks ) that from his posts.... BG has inspired at least one person to think about what they're doing with themselves. "One" person can be all it takes some times to make a difference. That "one" person is all the satisfaction BG needs.
