Actually, it's a $1,024 "morsel"---more than the amount you owe Brad. 
All with no financial risk to you.

I just described and offered a very reasonable test.  I'd state it 
again, but anyone who cares can simply look upthread for it.

No, that wasn't about you "working" with camgirls (who have nothing to 
do with you and probably never will), but rather with her assessment 
that you have no income.

Now you're just babbling.

I don't even know what you're babbling about now.

I'm *offering* another test, just as I've done many times before.

You didn't even *try* to come up with an excuse this time!  OK, let's 
sweeten the pot a little.  Instead of the $1024 prize for getting 20 of 
20 right, I'll drop the odds a bit.  Instead of 20 questions, we'll just 
have 10.  Get just *half* of them right (that's 5 for 
arithmetically-challenged folks), and I'll pay you $1.  Then I'll 
*quadruple* it for every extra one you get right.  That's right, get 6 
right, and you get $4, 7 right gets you $16, 8 right gets you $64, 9 
right gets you $256, and getting all 10 right gets you $1024!  Are you 
really going to snub your nose at the chance to both prove your 
abilities *and* to make a little better than a grand?  How long does it 
take for you to make that much money on your public assistance?  And no 
risk!

Oh, and of course, I have not done anything to prevent anyone else from 
participating in your tests.  That's just your paranoia speaking.  Even 
though I have seven times as much magic power as you have, it isn't 
enough to force other people to avoid you.  That's all down to you.

I guess it's fair enough to wonder why I do this.  On the one hand, I 
know that you'll never agree to a reasonable test.  Even if you did 
(which would amaze everyone *far* more than your cloud pics do), you'd 
fail that test.  On the other hand, I retain enough open-mindedness to 
be willing to be convinced, even after you've shown yourself a deluded 
loon so many times in the past.
