What the hell?! Hey Mark, I don't know how this happened but the report is showing my entry as blank. I could swear I posted it and saw it in the thread as 637. Can you do something about this? ETA: Just checked, it IS in the thread as 637, but it's in the report as blank?! Wild, you've discovered a bug in the scripts. I've been chasing these down ever since the switch to the new editor. [>:/] ETA: And now I've got to deal with the fancy formatting. Will be fixed shortly. I'm thinking a Surefire pen to both mnd and the red ink bandit ... what say ye guys ?
You're a good man, Charlie Brown |

I tried to IM you, but your box is full. I'd like to buy the LEO that submitted the handwritten entry a team membership, but I need his username to do so. Can you drop me a IM or email. Thanks. |

There were 967 valid posts but only 737 numbers were chosen. I still don't understand why certain individuals choose to have worse odds, in what is essentially a raffle. Even if every valid participant chose their own unique number, there would still be some left over...

It's not "greed," it's just an "enlightened self-interest." Quoted:
You guys really overestimate the amount of effort I've expended.
Hopefully mnd will also get a Santa LaRue Christmas gift for the work he has done. I'm a fundamentally lazy programmer and have optimized to reduce the amount of attention required. It takes longer to post the report threads than it does to kick off the report process. Also, my motives for this are entirely selfish so I've already earned my reward, in that I don't have to read the thread before posting and my report reduces the chances of other people duping me. The fact that it helps everyone else is only a nice side effect. (regardless, thanks a bundle) |
