Re: NEW CONTEST..STARTS FEB. 22..DETAILS
You know, I must have missed a question. I tried to make sure I posted every morning before I went off to work, but damn it if I didn't miss one.
OK, I posted two questions about 15 minutes ago. The final question will be up tomorrow nice and early.. Depending on the level of participation for this contest, I already have another contest planned with a cool prize so more participation the better. Is everyone enjoying this so far? questions not to difficult? they can all be found, you just have to do a little digging and sifting..

OK, I'm on US Eastern time, so you can email me your questions until March 8th, midnight 12 am (technically it will be Monday, so let's all agree it will be Sunday 11:59:59pm). Here is the site I use to set all my clocks by: The official US time Click on the Eastern Time Zone to check the official time. Let me know if that works O.K. for you and if the answers your question completely. Dealing with time and a contest is tricky when you have global contestants..

I think it's a great idea! Seems like a good way to foster some more interaction on the forum. For me personally, I've enjoyed reading bits and pieces in forum sections that I've never come across before. I guess thats the best part about it, there is always something new to catch your interest if you just have the time to look. Thanks, - Sean
