I bought those black socks way back when all the contracts where 
generic, as I recall. It was only the Brick Red and Baby Blue I was 
trying to purchase in this week's corporate holdings raid.

I'm saying that if "by purchasing a Black sock" was in there at any 
time, I became a member by virtue of already holding a black sock. The 
opposing way to read it is, "by purchasing a [new] Black sock" but 
stocks don't conventionally work that way.

Get me in the members list and I'll start changing proposals to Black.
