You are quite welcome. I like this forum, you guys have always been nice to me. I'm hoping one of you wins. And also.....

As the prize is membership in an elitist group, that isn't much enticement for a cranky, non-conformist 50+'er.

However it would be tempting to try to win & then not accept the prize.
I believe that if you win and don't want it, you might be able to pass it along to someone who may want it.

Very few internet forums pay or compensate moderators for their service. They volunteer because in general, the place runs a little smoother and with a little more class than without. The fact that they feel strongly enough to help the community get along is commendable. While forum members might not always agree with moderator decisions most would deplore their absence.

Don't you be hollerin at Siu.
