Can I give a SparkFun gift certificate for an answer to my question?

Jack_Strop:
I'm not sure if this violates any forum rules or if this kind of thing is generally frowned upon here so before I post my proposition, can you guys/girls tell me if this is ok?

Seems OK to me. If the other moderators disagree, I'm certain they will neuter me. Well, probably not. But they will respond.

I'd like to offer an incentive in the form of a Sparkfun gift certificate (say $25?) for the first effective answer.

"Effective" is vague. I'd like you to provide more clarity as to what does and does not garner the purse and pin down what purse you are offering.

I'll start a new thread for answers.

Please don't. The one thread is fine.
